Jean-Michel Guillon, Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru 2023

A superbly spicy nose combines a wide range of elements that include red and dark cherry, earth, violet, tea and discreet wood. The super-sleek yet almost painfully intense and powerful larger-bodied flavors are shaped by dense but impressively fine-grained tannins on the youthfully austere finish where the power does a slow build from the mid-palate. This is terrific and pretty much textbook Mazis.
