Dugat-Py Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru 1995 750ml

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr '98
Excellent ruby-red. More reticent, more sauvage aromas of redcurrant, licorice and hoisin sauce. Tightly wrapped and currently showing less weight on the palate than the Charmes, but at least as intensely flavored and even more perfumed in the mouth. In fact, this sharply delineated wine is almost painful today. Very powerful, oak-spicy back end, with rather strong tannins. This may ultimately surpass the Charmes but will require extended aging.
