Inky blue/purplish fruit

In some ways it feels like a hypothetical 2016–2017 blend

stewed plums and boysenberries

intense and quite sleek large-scaled flavors that deliver first-rate persistence on the backward and youthfully austere finish

This is only produced once every four or five years

Philippe Charlopin-Parizot, Mazis Chambertin Brut Zero Inky blue/purplish fruit(from Mazis Hauts). This arguably possesses the most complex nose in the range with its intensely floral aromas of various dark berries, earth, sauvage and an interesting hint of tangerine peel. The broad shouldered, powerful and concentrated flavors are saline to the point of being almost salty before culminating in a wonderfully long, balanced and compact finale. This is a wine to buy and forget you own for at least a decade. In a word, excellent.
