(93-95) Generous wood fights a bit with the otherwise brooding and reserved nose that is classic Mazis with its intense sauvage character that adds distinction to the dark currant earth, floral and humus scents. There is exceptionally good richness and power to the concentrated and palate staining flavors that deliver superb length on the balanced finish. I very much like the way the intensity builds on the mid-palate back to the explosive finish that really fans out. In a word, impressive.
