Note di degustazione
The 1974 Clos de Tart is a vintage that I have encountered once before. Here, it has an intriguing nose with that same deepness in hue that I remarked upon before. The nose is a bit rustic yet delivers lovely rosehip and rose petal scents intertwined with the light red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a surprisingly sweet core of fruit, maybe missing the breeding of the bottle seven years earlier, but I appreciate the red plum and molasses notes on the finish, as I mentioned before, gifting surprising purity considering the vintage. Tasted at the "Four" dinner at Bouchard Père in Beaune.

The 1974 Clos de Tart Grand Cru ought to have been DOA – but this is unpredictable Burgundy. Healthy and quite deep in color, it has a lifted, elegant bouquet with fine mineralité , prompting several attendees of the tasting to scratch their heads and ask, “How?” There are enticing red cherry and bergamot scents here, plus a touch of vervain tea. The palate is medium-bodied, quite floral and surprisingly pure, and the tannins are slightly edgy. Just a little, acceptable dryness creeps in toward the saline finish. I have tasted few 1974 Burgundy wines as good as this. Tasted at the Clos de Tart vertical at Ten Trinity in London.
Pale and old looking. Green/yellow rim. Very mature nose that reminds me of the 1979. Rich and flattering and then pretty dry on the end. Lots of pleasure; it's just not the purest. (JR)
