2009 Mazis-Chambertin, Grand Cru Olivier Bernstein

Mazis-Chambertin, Grand Cru Olivier Bernstein
This Mazis will not lie down easily to the challenge posed by the Clos de Bèze for top dog status in the Bernstein range. It has a marvellously dense, backward nose and a sublimely full palate coming from grapes which were evidently picked at the perfect moment. There is a fabulous crunchy finish and amazing persistence. The 80 year old vines are speaking. It may open out a little earlier, but otherwise 2018-2028.

Mazis-Chambertin, Grand Cru Olivier Bernstein
Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is moderately reduced though it's clear that the underlying fruit is quite ripe. The big-bodied and overtly muscular flavors are rich, intense, detailed and conspicuously mineral-driven while being supported by a sap enrobed tannic spine that lends a distinct tactile impression to the long, serious and driving finish. Like several of the grands cru wines in the Bernstein range, this wine is built for the long-term and will need it.

Mazis-Chambertin, Grand Cru Olivier Bernstein
Very dark. A little bit of oak still on the nose. Sinewy and quite polished and even a little light! Certainly not one of their densest wines. Rather pretty in terms of structure though I reserve judgment really in view of the lingering oak influence...
