There is mild reduction here as well but it does not significantly hinder the evaluation of the spicy dark berry fruit and pungent earth aromas that precede the textured, intense and mouth coating big-bodied and overtly muscular flavors which are naturally sweet, rich and powerful with fine but dense tannins that shape the wonderfully persistent finish. Despite the reduction, it's clear that this is a dramatic wine that possesses excellent depth of character. Drink: 2026+ (BH94-92)

The 2009 Mayozeres-Chambertin emerges from the glass with silky, perfumed red fruit. It possesses striking inner perfume and plenty of freshness in an attractive, medium-bodied style that is undeniably appealing. Floral notes add brightness and lift on the expressive, resonant finish. The Mayozeres is soft, sensual and totally beautiful. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029. - Antonio Galloni
