93 points Allen Meadows – Burghound

An absolutely gorgeous nose of black fruit, anise, violet and cassis coupled with a smoked meat and wild herb notes introduce big, intense and explosive flavors that are sappy and seductive. There is a deeply buried but steely tannic spine that will take its time resolving but I’d like to see this wine at age 15 or so. This is really a stunner as it’s very fresh for the vintage and absolutely one to buy…The Maume ’03s are, as a group about where I thought they would be but I particularly draw your attention to the Mazis as it is every bit as stunning in bottle was it was from cask.
