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.- NM
