Olivier Bernstein Chambertin Grand Cru 2015

this is actually a bit less complex than the Richebourg though I would expect that to change with extended bottle aging

Foremost a mineral wine

dazzlingly complex and superbly long finish

This promising effort appears to have more than enough density to eventually absorb the wood treatment

a profound opaque purple color and enormous notes of lead pencil shavings intermixed with blackberry liqueur

Leoville Las Cases Cabernet Sauvignon 1986(WA93) X 1:WA98 “The 1986 Léoville Las-Cases "Cabernet Sauvignon Blend" convincingly states the case for this variety being the "king" of the Left Bank and the core of this Saint Julien Grand Vin

This is so well-balanced that despite how young it is at present

simply put

There is notably more volume and mid-palate concentration to the relatively supple medium weight plus flavors that tighten up noticeably on the dusty

large-scaled effort that is not without considerable elegance for its mass and volume

it still stood out for its purity

refined and lacy medium weight flavors that deliver excellent length on the balanced and beautifully persistent if slightly warm finale
