96 NM. "Tasted at Corney’s Clos de Tart vertical. This has been a monumental Clos de Tart since the day it was born. Much deeper in colour that commensurate vintages, the 2003 retains that decadent, almost outrageous bouquet with blueberry, damson, black olive and an almost Barolo-like fruit profile. Well…they do say they are similar! The palate is full-bodied, surfeit with glycerine, rich and extravagant with luscious, lascivious dark berried fruit, Xmas cake and fresh fig. Cashmere tannins towards the finish. You cannot help but be smitten by this Clos de Tart. Burgundy with balls." Neal Martin, Wine Journal, Sep 2010 |
