Clos de Vougeot Olivier Bernstein 2009 is a rich and concentrated Grand Cru Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s modern superstars. Bernstein, a micro-négociant, focuses on old vines and high-quality wood, resulting in a Clos de Vougeot with immense depth and a dark fruit profile. The 2009 vintage was a warm one, providing a wine with generous ripeness, supple tannins and notes of spicy oak and menthol. While powerful and heavily extracted, it retains enough acidity to suggest a long and graceful evolution in the bottle.

Vinous
Ruby-red. Subtle, pure aromas of black cherry, licorice and minerals. Dense and sweet but juicy, even a bit clenched, with a rather masculine, medicinal character currently dominating the middle palate. (There's something vaguely Saint-Emilion-like about this powerful pinot.) This will require extended aging for its substantial tannins to resolve. Finishes very long, with a late note of bitter chocolate.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2011
