Score 89-92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2010

(the malolactic fermentation finished about three weeks prior to my visit) Good medium red. Distinctly blacker aromas of dark raspberry, licorice and spices. Tightly wound and juicy, showing a pungent, slightly tart pomegranate quality and conveying a low-pH impression. Still a faint leesy quality: due to the recent end of the malo, this is behind most of Clavelier's other 2008s in its evolution. Finishes with a very firm tannin/acid spine.

Delicately fragrant with a hint of sweetness of fruit. So refined on the nose. That perfume carries through to a lightish mid palate that is nevertheless very persistent with a fine spicy finish. Enchanting and classy. (JH)
