Good quality. I was guessing Austrian Pinot Noir 2007. Correct. Nice to drink but unfortunately pales in the company of Tarts on fire.
This is kinda at the end of its life. Not for further ageing. Already becoming oxidative.

Outstandingly good quality. Lots of fine balance in this bottle. Still some more age required to unlock its full potential. Grand Cru weight and finesse. Clearly a ripe good vintage. Correctly identified as a Clos de Tart. Will surge to 96 points when the time is right.

Outstanding quality. Matching up and pulling its own weight in the blind match up. I even initially guessed this was a Clos de Tart!
Drinking well. Will still evolve a bit more over the next 4-5 years.

Very good quality, Nice ripe fruits with some emerging tertiary elements. Would be nice to try again in about 4 years' time. Ripe and opulent fruit, however, the 2009 lacks the finesse and balance of the 2008 and tremendous 2005.
