The 2015 Mazis from Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy is terrific on both the nose and palate. The bouquet offers up a nascently complex blend of black plums, black cherries, dark chocolate, a beautiful base of Mazis minerality, coffee bean, roasted meats and nutty new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and sappy at the core, with very good dark soil undertow, buried, ripe tannins and a very long, suave and promising finish. This needs plenty of time, but it is going to be an exceptional bottle of Mazis!

The 2015 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is superb, offering up a classic bouquet of wild berries, cherry, grilled game, subtle mint and a framing of smoky new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated, with true grand cru depth and dimension, its tannins fine-grained and its finish long and penetrating. This is a powerful Mazis-Chambertin that retains excellent energy and freshness despite its considerable volume, and which could compete with some of Gevrey's finest.- WK

Here the toasty and menthol-inflected nose is slightly more deeply pitched with attractively spiced aromas that include iron-infused warm earth notes as well as animale and underbrush hints. The succulent yet overtly powerful big-bodied flavors are blessed with ample dry extract that coats the palate on the very firm, concentrated and driving finish where a touch of warmth arises. There is real energy here and while the tannins are notably prominent at the moment, this is actually fairly refined for a young Mazis.
