CLOS DE TART GRAND CRU MONOPOLE
96+

The 2019 Clos de Tart Grand Cru took some time to cohere on the nose and obliged aeration in my glass. But it coalesces nicely with blackberry, briary, wild heather and crushed stone aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a earthy, spicy, slightly minty entry. Fine grip, very fresh towards the finish with a dash of white pepper and lingers long in the mouth. Excellent.
