Tasted at the pre-dinner vertical to mark Sylvain Pitiot's retirement from the domaine, the 2003 Clos de Tart Grand Cru is deep in color. The nose reflects the warm summer...to a degree. Sappy black fruit, a hint of licorice and balsamic, it is a little withdrawn to my surprise and despite rigorous aeration. The palate is rich and exotic, plenty of licorice in the mouth, quite gamey and very spicy towards the finish. In the context of this vertical tasting, it does not articulate the terroir in this vintage, despite Sylvain's best efforts - a grand cru that burned brightly in its youth, but eventually succumbed to imprint of that growing season.

(15+% alcohol) Saturated ruby-red. Aromas of blackberry liqueur and dark tropical chocolate; like a bon-bon, says Pithiot. Sweet, lush and huge, stuffed with fruit and torrefaction flavors. Amazingly thick and almost too ripe for its own good, but there's superb retention of fruit here, no doubt due to the north-south direction of the vine rows. Finishes with big, dusty tannins, strong oakiness and palate-staining length. Drink now through 2025, Pithiot suggests, although I suspect that this massive wine will shut down at some point, perhaps for a long time. The 2003 Clos de Tart could easily be tasted against the highest-octane examples from the New World.
