  Popped and poured. A bit austere and closed on the nose even after rigorous swirling. Similiarly the palate seems reserved, structured with some lingering unresolved tannin. There is ripe black cherry, raspberry, herbs and iron coming through. Terrific concentration and length. This is one for the ages but I would let it develop in the cellar a bit longer. The score is a guess. This could be better.

  {Corton Clos des Corton tasting organized by JL at Black Cat; purchased on release by me; decanted at 3 pm and tasted 7.30 or 8 pm. I thought the nose a bit reserved but very pure initially, others disagreed; tons of pre-2007 change in winemaking concentration ... but still tight, just a baby. Both the 1993 and 1990 were better resolved and a better match to the excellent dinner tonight, but I think this will rival them in time - still just very very young.

  Youthful purple color. Potent aromas of black raspberry, earthiness, light pipe tobacco and allspice. Palate is sweet and echoes red berries. Not a persistent finish. Abundant freshness and with time, the tobacco character and cherry liqueur assume control of aromatics. Over two hours, the nose evolves to rustic, earthy, cherry liqueur aromas concealing hints of sandalwood. Flavor profile of red berries, nicely balances sweetness and acidity. At a good spot currently and very satisfying.
