  Decanting for three hours is a must, don't stress over it. Dark Madagascar chocolate melted in Kenyan AA coffee, blended with Indian chai spices and brewed blackcurrant compote. Warm long length. Deep kiss with a hot milf and yes - very psychedelic wine. Four bottles left, wont sell it.

  Wine Group Dinner #169 - 2009 Gevrey Chambertin Grand Crus (Urbane Restaurant, Brisbane): Wine Group Dinner #169, Urbane Restaurant. This wine is immediately notable for its dense dark cherry colour and rich nose of black and red fruits with touches of compote character, earth and game. The palate is similarly rich and verges on surmaturite with touches of fig and dark chocolate yet there is still good balance and a fine finish. There is that Bernstein glossiness that is immediately attractive but which can be a little too much of a good thing ! Still this is a delicious wine of a particular style.

  La Paulée de New York - The Verticals (Colicchio & Sons - New York NY): Tasted in 11/10/09 vertical, brief note. An interesting contrast to the 2010 just tasted, this is more lush and ripe, with almost as much spice, but slightly less well balanced. New oak seems to slightly protrude here. Good length but I'd like a little more textural nuance.

  The Verticals Tasting at La Paulée 2015 (Colicchio & Sons, New York): Crystallized red fruit, deeply saturated color. Fantastic fruit clarity and depth while remaining incredibly refined. Layered and long. So much more balance and room to grow than most 2009s. These wines from Olivier Bernstein were downright thrilling!

  Oliver Bernstein Tasting (Fix St James, Sydney): Redcurrant, white pepper, truffle and some forest floor aromas. The palate has incredible structure, there is brooding fruit, tannin and acid all working together. Young but it is already obviously a serious and brilliant wine.
