Dominique Laurent Mazis-Chambertin Cuvée B Vieilles Vignes

Earth and sandlewood on the nose drawing together menthol notes and ripe fruit. This wine was a bit of a roller coaster for the first hour showing dark soil and canned cherries that evolved into a beautiful profile of stone and spice. The backbone of this wine is in the acid that acts as a bridge between the lovely front end and a precise finish. Loved it.

The wine I never get tired off, Domenic Laurent strikes certain cord with me. Drink/hold, not anywhere near it's deathbed.

Drank over 3 hours. Dried out nose of meat, red fruit, earth. Thin and angular on the palate. Rustic. Short tannic finish. Maybe this was better at some point in its life.

Superb. The wine of the night.
