Note di degustazione
Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru from Olivier Bernstein has a lifted bouquet with raspberry coulis and strawberry scents and, unlike the example that turned out to be from Benjamin Leroux, here I find the oak more neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, a fine line of acidity and a spicy finish that lingers in the mouth. It needs another 24 months to fully subsume the oak, but there is good potential. Tasted September 2017.

Bright dark red. Pure but subdued aromas of black cherry and herbs; darker in its fruit character than the foregoing wines. Saline and reserved in the mouth, conveying very good texture but rather tightly wound in the early going, with its black cherry, mineral and mint flavors complicated by an herbal element and currently dominated by a strong spine of acidity and tannins. Not dry or hard but backward and austere. Lay this one down.
Bright medium-deep red. Dark aromas of blackberry, violet and licorice. Richer than the Charmes, showing lovely sweetness and inner-mouth perfume to the ripe black fruit and floral flavors. The 80-year-old vines here contribute a creamy richness of texture. The perfumed, smoothly tannic finish features rising purple and black fruit flavors.
