Mommessin - Clos de Tart Grand Cru Monopole - 2010

A ripe but cool and highly complex nose of moderately wooded aromas of violets, cassis, black berry and anise hints. The superbly rich and velvety broad-shouldered flavors possess outstanding size, weight and mid-palate concentration that coats the palate with dry extract and enrobes the firm tannic spine to the point where it is more of a background element than usual. There is excellent energy and precision to the dusty, pure and driving finish. This well-balanced effort should require between 15 and 18 years of cellar time to be at its best. 94 Points/Drink 2025+ - Allen Meadows, Burghound Very firm, still-dry finish and very ripe wild start. It’s all fruit – no trace of the transparency of most 2010s. Picked very late. Dry finish and rather exotic ripe fruit. 17 Points/Drink 2018-2032 - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com
