Reviews & Scores
This hasn't changed much from when I first reviewed it from bottle in 2007 though it has not shut down in the fashion of many '05s at this point. An expressive and very ripe black berry fruit, spice, mocha, fresh coffee and earthy nose is surrounded by a more moderate touch of oak that continues onto the rich, full, concentrated, powerful and sweet flavors that possess superb mid-palate density and huge length. This is an extremely rich and concentrated wine that will live for ages and in fact, about the only thing that has changed is that it appears even more structured than I initially thought. In a word, fantastic. - BH

The 2005 vintage was among the sunniest in memory: more than 90 hours above the 30-year average. The bright sun and drought conditions produced thick skins and tannic wines, but here the winemaking has tamed this tricky year to give super-ripe blackberry and bramble fruit with notes of earth, mineral and a hint of cedar. The texture is marvellously rich but not overly tannic. Picking began on the 21st of September in cool, sunny conditions. This masterful '05 is rich and opening now yet still youthful. It has a long life ahead of it. (CC) - DC

The 2005 Clos de Tart Grand Cru, tasted from magnum (for some reason, it always seems to turn up in this format), is one of Sylvain Pitiot’s greatest successes. It was picked September 21 to September 24 (at 11am, to be exact). The yield was 27hl/ha with 14° alcohol. The precocity of the growing season seems to suit Pitiot’s winemaking style. Iridescent in color, the 2005 has a majestic, pure bouquet featuring layers of pulsating red berry fruit, wild strawberry and raspberry scents and an underlying mineralité that I suspect requires another decade to really surface above the fruit. The palate is extremely well balanced, with fine tannin, and beautifully poised, that crescendo still in place. This grand cru fans out with a sense of confidence, almost hubris, on the long finish. A towering achievement. (NM) - VM
