93 Points

Friday, September 28, 2012 - Slightly darker, mid to full ruby. More classical nose, cedar, sweeter blackcurrant and blackcurrant leaf, and quite mineral. As per a recent 89, no Cordier funk here. Positive entry, with a nicely cool and focused, minerally attack and a slightly leafy element developing across the mid-palate. Mineral and focused. Some brighter red fruit coming though as it starts to open up and show a little more development, and the cedar starts to show hints of sandlewood too. Very good indeed. The youngest seeming of the three 90s tonight (Dom de Chevalier & Clerc Milon), again, as were the other two, true to its appellation. Top ****, maybe higher.
