This is also overtly floral in character with its wonderfully spicy, fresh and cool nose of mostly dark berries and discreet game wisps. There is both impressive volume and richness to the moderately dense and relatively refined flavors that deliver first-rate depth and superb persistence on the youthfully austere backend where the dense but fine-grained structure arrives all at once. This too is going to require plenty of patience. - BH

The 2021 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is less brooding than is often the case, no doubt thanks to the vintage. Wafting from the glass with notes of sweet red berries, wild plums, rose petals, cinnamon and potpourri, it's full-bodied, rich and layered, with a beautifully seamless, suave profile that means it's far from forbidding, even right out of the gates. Patience, however, will of course be rewarded. - WA
