Mazis Chambertin, Domaine Dugat-Py 2007

An intensely floral nose of dried rose petal and violets that add a touch of elegance to the otherwise intensely animale and earth-infused red and blue pinot fruit and this is undoubtedly the most complex nose in the group outside of the Chambertin. The supple and strikingly pure big-bodied flavors are really quite fine yet well muscled and this is a rare combination of finesse and power. Moreover, it is also blessed with incredible underlying material and the finish just goes on and on. Indisputably brilliant though again, patience absolutely required.
