"This is also intensely earthy with a plethora of red berry fruit aromas that include notes of plum, cassis and black cherry liqueur also exhibit copious amounts of that classic sauvage character of a fine Mazis. The impressively concentrated and overtly muscular big-bodied flavors are shaped by very firm but buried tannins and superb length on the balanced, austere and hugely long finish. This is a stunner of a wine built for the long haul."
