Lovely nose, raspberry, underripe strawberry, a lovely cedar note and a touch of leafy tobacco. Similar on palate, there was good concentration but still with a supple mouthfeel. Nice and light on the palate to the extent I was very surpirsed to see this was 14% alchol on the label!
Took a good 2+ hours to begin really opening up and showing its full potential - ideally I'd have opened a bit sooner to enjoy more at the peak, but a very quality wine nonetheless. I ultimately felt that this really showed the Grand Cru status of the vineyard.

Medium deep red in glass. Nice pinot nose, more than two years ago, so might still improve additional one or two years. More than that might get too much truffle or barnyard for me. Drank firm and velvety, still had underlying power, changing with time in glass. Some truffle, a little drying tannins.

Waited 10+ after drinking the first 2007 Clos de Tart I first tried, it is better and can still evolve. This was good but really not great.

And some stems on the nose and some earthiness but still extra ordinary. Just a bit strident on the palate. But only with regards to this field.
