Domaine du Clos de Tart Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru "La Forge du Tart" 2018 750 ML
This too is quite ripe though retains a better sense of freshness to the mostly dark berry aromas that include nuances of plum, cassis, spice and violet that is also trimmed in enough oak to merit pointing out. There is much better concentration to the finer velvet-textured flavors that offer notably better depth and persistence on the firm, balanced and sappy finish. This is really very good and a way to drink Clos de Tart for less! 2030+
Barrel Sample: 91-93
Barrel Sample: 91-93
Bottled in late March. A ripe clear purple. The bouquet is warmly welcoming, ripe but not exaggerated fruit. This is very sensual, with quite a weight of oak adding to that impression, a little warmer than the 2019 but still harmonious. Long lightly toasted finish. Thickish texture, good enough acidity. A balanced and successful 2018.
This was previously a cuvée made by Clos de Tart only in certain years (often when they needed greater selection for the first wine) but it will now be produced annually from the vines that are under 20 years old. Touches of caramel-edged oak at first that is slightly intrusive, but as it opens up there is tons of blueberry and raspberry fruit. Fresh and appealing, silky with edges of steel.
