Allen MEADOWS, Burgundy 2018

CLOS DE TART GRAND CRU MONOPOLE
92-94

(from vines that average around 60+ years of age; ~65% whole clusters). More evident wood is present on
the mentholated nose of super-spicy and quite floral essence of poached plum and cassis-scented nose. There is a beguiling
sense of refinement and underlying tension to the delicious middle weight plus flavors that culminate in a dusty, palate coating
and beautifully complex finish. The 2018 Clos de Tart is not quite as concentrated as it usually is but it still has the stuffing to
improve over the next 20 years and it should hold for many years after that. (92-94)/2035+
