I tasted the 2022 Clos de Tart Grand Cru from a wide Burgundy-type glass. It feels a little closed at the moment after bottling. Redcurrant/cranberry fruit open, with blacker fruit emerging with aeration. Hints of wild mint and thyme linger in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with bold tannins, but there is sufficient fruit to back it up. There is firm grip toward the finish, where I would just like a little more transparency and Pinoté, hence my score.
