Domaine Dugat-Py, Mazis Chambertin Vielles Vignes Gand Cru 2012

There is enough reduction present to flatten the nose. By contrast there is good punch, freshness and energy to the very ripe and velvety big-bodied flavors that are shaped by very firm tannins that are more than buffered by the abundant sap on the superbly long, balanced and powerful finish. I very much like the intense minerality as it adds a sense of lift and vibrancy. This is a very impressive Mazis.
