Soft floral and toasty oak notes add breadth to the notably ripe nose, indeed this is much riper than its 2010 counterpart. Aromas of plum, chocolate and subtle spice notes merge into supple but broad-shouldered flavors that possess good energy and excellent depth on the velvety yet very firm finish that is at once supported and shaped by the solidly structured, indeed even robust finish. This is a very serious wine that was expressly built to age and it should improve for out to 20 years if kept in quality storage conditions.

A glowing red in colour, while the aromas of this wine show a broader range of allusions than its younger siblings: straw, hay, tar and Chartreuse herbs pack out the red fruits. On the palate, it’s full, chunky and firm. Its generous tannins over-awe the fruit profile just now, so the overall effect is a little more severe than the ‘easy’ reputation of 2009 would suggest. A substantial Clos de Tart which still needs time, and may eventually win a higher score. 93/100
Clos de Tarte is a wholly owned vineyard in Morey St Dénis in Burgundy which produces fine, silky red wine. It was originally founded by Cistercian sisters from Notre Dame de Genlis in 1250.
