The 2013 Clos de Tart has a succinct and perfumed bouquet: distant at first but warming to you with time. It is very well defined (as usual) with blackcurrant and cassis, a tangible mineral component courtesy of vines planted on wet limestone. The palate is medium-bodied with tensile tannins, symmetrical with a keen thread of acidity. The whole bunch component is barely tangible, but perhaps it renders it more backward than when I tasted the 2012 last year. It is linear and focused with a subtle brine influence toward the finish. There is an effortlessness about this Clos de Tart.
A ripe, flamboyant style, boasting cherry, strawberry and baking spice flavors. Balanced and fresh, with firm tannins shoring up the long finish.
