Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Olivier Bernstein 2014

Here too there is noticeable wood influence to the appealingly spicy and overtly earthy nose of wild dark berries and cassis that is cooler and more restrained. There is fine intensity to the mineral-driven big-bodied flavors that are both tighter and finer than those of the Mazis with just as much power and refinement, all wrapped in a hugely long, complex and well-balanced finish where the only minor nit is a hint of warmth. (Drink starting 2029)

Bright, dark crimson. Lighter nose than the Mazis. Edgy wine. Not as massive as some other vintages. Almost fine. Muscular and set for the long term but the strength seems to come more by the promise of prolonged exercises than by sheer weight. Drink: 2030-45
