Mazis Chambertin 1990 Domaine Maume

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

All of Maume's 1990 offerings are typical of his style of winemaking. They are darkly-colored, powerful, dense, and backward. Most of them will require 7-10 years of cellaring. Consider Maume's 1982s, a vintage when most red burgundies are in complete decline. His wines are just beginning to reach full maturity. The top wine is Maume's sensational Mazis-Chambertin. With a saturated dark purple color, a huge, unevolved fragrance of black-raspberries, minerals, licorice, and pepper, this full-bodied, virile, super-concentrated, dense, old style red burgundy exhibits mouth-searing tannins, enormous extraction of fruit, and enough body, glycerin, and alcohol to see it through three decades of cellaring.
