Clos Vougeot Olivier Bernstein 2013 (750ML)

"""Tasted blind at Fine & Rare Wines' Clos Vougeot tasting, the 2013 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru from Olivier Bernstein has a slight earthiness on the nose, less fruit-driven than Bertrand Ambroise but perhaps demonstrating more pinoté. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a fleshy core of strawberry and cranberry fruit. There is good tension here, nicely structured with appreciable mineralité on the finish...92"" WA 10/15"

The 2013 Clos Vougeot is remarkably polished and harmonious. Expressive red stone fruits, iron and crushed flowers are laced together in an absolutely impeccable wine endowed with true personality and class. The typically firm Clos Vougeot tannins are there, but they are pretty much covered by the sheer intensity of the fruit. At once distinctive and super-expressive, the Clos Vougeot is another of the stands outs in the range...91-94 Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media 04/15

The unobtrusive wood treatment serves as a backdrop for the ripe and fresh aromas of dark berries, plum, violet and sandalwood. The unusually supple mid-palate of the middle weight plus flavors is deceptive as the austere and beautifully complex finish immediately tightens up while displaying the typical youthful austerity of a young Clos de Vougeot. This should be approachable after only a few years if desired...91-94 BH 04/15
