Deep purple-black in color, the 2020 Mazeyres is a little closed to begin, soon unfurling to offer glimpses at boysenberry preserves, chocolate-covered cherries and baked plums scents, plus suggestions of damp soil, black truffles and cast-iron pan. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers mouth-filling black fruit preserves and loads of earthy accents, framed by soft, rounded tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and mineral tinged. A very impressive showing this year from this certified organic and biodynamic vineyard, it should come in as an under-the-radar bargain for Pomerol fans.
