  • X4. From a mag. Nose somewhat muted but wonderfully balanced with fruit, mineral and spice. Monopole outperformed vintage.

  • Wow! This was a juwel! Everything is there, super concentrated ripe red fruit, menthol, pepper, cranberry drink, sweet spice, earthy notes. Fruity, juicy, emotional and complex. Great joy and pleasure!
    I’m happy that I’ve tasted it! Unrivalled wine.

    P.S. It is “big” and “hot” but in no way I can complain about. I’d rather call this “concentrated”, “masculine” and “delivering”.

  • All in with sirpat00 review below. Way too big and dense for red burgundy 20 years out, made me long for a leaner and more restrained Oregon Pinot.

  • Annual BYO Pre-Dinner (mostly mature Bordeauxs): This tasted like a central Californian Grenache or a ripe CDP more than a noble Pinot. I like the seductive strawberry and rhubarb notes, the minty freshness as well as the quite airy structure and feel. Scoring it blind as the non-Pinot it is, it’s certainly on a 91/92 pts level with points deducted as it showed some alcohol heat. If I would score it with my puristic hat on and as a Burgundy this would be on a low 80s level.

    TN: Minty notes, herbs, very ripe but not overripe red fruit underneath, mostly strawberries but some darker raspberries too, lots and lots of very precise rhubarb. On the palate this is more CDP than Burgundy but an absolutely light and airy expression of CDP with ultra fine tannins and a good acidic backbone. The big negative is the alcohol heat on the nose and palate.

  • Ripe, incredibly dark type of berry fruit, very ripe and compote-like in style, but also with some sour cherry and rhubarb elements. Just slightly meaty, also herbal freshness and some spice. Immensely dense on the palate, lots of fruit and tension. Unfortunately on the downside there was noticeable heat. Was fascinating to see such vigor and muscle in a close to 20 year old Burg, but it was a bit overpowering and missing the elegance and refinement I would be looking for.

    (Clos du Tart Clos du Tart) 'Big', saturated colour. An opulent, almost 'Barossa' nose that slowly, slowly opens and widens and even begins to impress. The palate, likewise, starts concentrated and peppery. There's plenty of coffee yet mineral elements too. There's a suggestion of heat on the finish - a very long finish - but blind you wouldn't pick 'burgundy'...

    (Domaine du Clos de Tart Clos de Tart) Very dark red to violet color; big, hot, plum, incense and raspberry nose; ripe, concentrated Cali Pinot palate, like a Kosta Brown, raspberry puree, with some acidity; medium finish 90 pts. (after 2 hours in the glass, more toasty oak showing, and toasty cherry fruit, and an increase to 91 pts)

    (Mommessin Clos du Tart) Deep colour. Thick and heavy nose of coffee edged sweet plum and herbs. Tasting provides an unctuous, and sweet mix that avoids being ponderous because there's just so much of everything. Elegant it isn't, but this is so jam-packed with material that you have to be impressed. Give it 15 years in the cellar and see what develops.
