(Clos de Tart) This was closed for business. Nose of brambly fruit and dried leaves. Some slightly gamey mushroom notes. After a while there started to emerge some slight berry fruit and hints of blueberry but never really got there. Tremendous palate, with epic concentration but firmly structured. Great inner mouth aromas but forget about this for five years at least. Very sneaky finish that hints at the greatness to come.
