Mazis Chambertin, Domaine Tawse 2020

Picked 2nd September at 13.5%. 80% new wood. 10% whole bunch. Lovely mid purple, not the deepest. More reserved than Mazoyères but clearly with an amazing depth. Crystalline purity, a whole bevy of fine red fruits underlined by a little torrefaction. It is really backward still but with extraordinary length. Very stylish. And actually then a huge weight of fruit returns even later.

Here too the nose is attractively perfumed with its array of various red berries, anise, spice, violet and sauvage whiffs. The supple, delicious and mouth coating big-bodied flavors contrast with the markedly tannic and muscular finish that flashes focused power and excellent persistence. Patience required.
