  The 1998 Burgundy, due to the climate of that year, resulted in thicker grape skins because of its strong tannins.
  Fortunately, Clos de Tart has always been known for its strong structure, so this isn't much of an issue.
  The color of the wine is excellent, with a ruby hue tinged with a hint of brown, making it hard to believe it's a 26-year-old Burgundy. It exudes aromas of red cherries, cranberries, and a subtle scent of dates, that dense yet sweet fruit sensation.
  The acidity is moderate, with hardly any perception of tertiary aromas. It embodies my favorite elegant Burgundian style. Both the sommelier and friends feel that perhaps it could be aged for another 5-10 years. Looking forward to the experience it brings next time it's opened.
  
  1998年的勃艮第，这一年的气候导致葡萄皮比较厚，因为丹宁很强
  好在Clos de Tart一向是结构很强的，所以这也没什么问题
  酒的颜色非常好，Ruby中带有一点点brown，感觉不到是一瓶26年的勃艮第
  红樱桃，蔓越莓，然后还有一种很神奇的Dates的香气，就是那种绵密但又甜美的果实的感觉
  酸度适中，几乎没有感受到第三类香气
  是我最爱的优雅的勃艮第风格，直上天灵盖
  和侍酒师和朋友都觉得或许还能等5-10年
  期待下次开的时候带来的体验

  Bright ruby with touch of garnet, slightly inky
  Wow, damask roses, raspberries, dates, elegant, sage, eucalyptus, incenses, touch of mushroom
  Palate is even more airy and light
  Tannins still very strong but more like firm mulberry silk
  Like watching a biopic of elegant lady with flashbacks of her as a girl in rose fields
  Med+++ finish

  This has come around with earthy, sweet and savoury palate. It showed plum fruit, sweet cherry fruit, soil and musk. Drinking very well tonight. 92-93

  Opened 3 hours earlier. Light ruby with mature edge. Very fragrant secondary perfume with menthol. Medium bodied, not as concentrated as the Gros Richebourg alongside it. Lovely faded red fruit, fine acidity, excellent soil base, and some remaining tannin that is slightly coarse. Fully mature and just as seductive, elegant, and lovely as it has been in the past.

  Most enjoyable bottle of this wine so far, and the first to show well. The substantial core of fruit finally shows thru the massive and somewhat dry tannin, which is now after 25 years beginning to subside. A fair chance this will continue to improve.
