2013 Wine

Wine Enthusiast, 98 points: (WE96-98 points) The beautifully aromatic, honeyed scent leads into flavors of bitter orange and honey, along with extreme freshness. Notes of white peach and Rocha pear give richness to a wine that is not huge, but...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna del Lago (with 5,000 bottles made) sees fruit sourced from a vineyard site located in the northern part of the appellation. Unlike the Poggio al Granchio expression that is aged in...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: Cellar Selection. This wine has a lot of class and elegance, along with firm tannins that show how well it will age. It is dark and concentrated, the black fruits still developing under the solid structure. This wine will...

Burghound, 94 points: A relatively high-toned nose displays notes of pomegranate, cherry, and raspberry along with hints of wild flowers, earth and spices that are trimmed in subtle but not invisible wood. This is even riper than the Mazy with...

jamessuckling.com, 90 points: A firm and tangy red with plum, chocolate and cedar aromas and flavors. Medium body, nice flavor. Fresh finish. Drink now.

Burghound, 94 points: (BH91-94 points) There is enough reduction present to push the underlying fruit to the background. By contrast there is lovely freshness to the delicious if quite virile medium weight plus flavors that possess both good...

Burghound, 93 points: (BH90-93 points) Strong menthol dominates the nose. The mouth feel of the middle weight flavors is less precise but more seductive than those of the Petits Monts thanks to the abundance of the palate coating dry extract...

Burghound, 90 points: (BH87-90 points) The wood treatment currently pushes the fruit to the background and renders it impossible to read. On the plus side there is equally good volume to the even richer medium-bodied flavors that possess...

Burghound, 92 points: There is enough reduction present that I would recommend decanting this if you’re going to try a bottle before the wine matures. There is excellent richness, size, weight and muscularity to the medium-bodied flavors that...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: (WA92-94 points) The 2013 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru has quite a deep and introspective bouquet with broody dark berry fruit, wild hedgerow and forest floor aromas that draw you in. The palate is medium-bodied with supple...

Vinous, 93 points: (ST90-93 points) Good bright, dark red. Lovely perfumed aromas of rose petal and iron shavings. Sweet, supple red fruit flavors show good concentration and aromatic persistence if not quite the density or cut of the best...

Burghound, 94 points: (BH91-94 points) The profusely wooded nose displays plenty of menthol attributes along with various red and dark berry fruit, herbal tea, earth and a pretty floral nuance. There is fine power and concentration to the...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Real purity of fruit in this with bark, dried strawberry and dried lemon peel. Full-bodied, chewy and powerful. A wonderful wine for the vintage. Structured and enticing. Needs five to six years to soften.
