Chambertin Grand Cru
-- Internet: -- Burghound: Here the nose is actually quite similar to that of the Bèze save for the fact that the aromas are slightly cooler and more restrained as well as a bit less spicy. There is more minerality to the powerful, intense and beautifully welldelineated medium-bodied plus flavors that possess an abundance of mouth coating dry extract before culminating in an explosive, notably firmer and more persistent finish. This should be terrific in time. 93-95/100 -- Galloni: An addition to the range, the 2012 Chambertin flows across the palate with plenty of Bernstein's signature richness. The 2012 is expressive and enveloping in texture, but more reserved in its aromas and flavors. The Chambertin is also a bigger, broader wine than the Bèze, but a bit less complex and nuanced, at least today. Given Bernstein's success with his other vineyards, it will be interesting to see what he does with this fruit going forward. 93-95/100 -- IWC: Yes, Olivier Bernstein has added four barrels of the king of wines to his collection of crus in 2012 and 2013. Good bright, dark red. Discreet aromas of wild dark berries and iron. Thick, large-scaled, dry and utterly backward. In a distinctly masculine, soil-inflected style, with its silky texture leading to a seriously sappy finish featuring big, chewy tannins and outstanding saline, juicy persistence. This will need extended cellaring. 94-97/100
