Tasting notes
The 1966 Clos de Tart Grand Cru has a healthy deep russet hue. The bouquet is delightful: old-school Burgundy with dark berry fruit, mulberry, fern, damp woodland and just a touch of mint, gently unfolding with aeration. The palate is very well balanced, offering fine tannin and red fruit tinctured by a splash of soy. I admire the definition, breeding and nobility of this Clos de Tart, which shows just a little dryness on the finish but is otherwise holding up well. Very fine. Tasted at the Clos de Tart vertical at Ten Trinity in London.

Dark and foxy red. Powerful and rich and round and sweet. Such power, violets. Very pretty. Pretty sweet and fleshy and rich. Complex. A little burnt. (JR)
