Graves meets Switzerland. Love this wine. Pungent nose of mystifying alpine scents. Greengage, grass, hay, wild flowers. Some grapefruit. Yellow not pink. Such purity to the aromas. Smells like you outside in the cleanest Swiss field ever. Palate is massive, concentrated and so pure. Tiny berry fruit intensity. Fruits are apple, apricot and some gooseberry. So textured. Rich but light on its feet. Great acids and structure. Long finish. Grassy on the palate as well with such distinctive minerality. This will likely benefit from 2-3 years of age. — 4 years ago

One of the best Swiss Pinot Noirs. Just a stunning stunning example. Nose is all woodland berries, mountain spice, insane florals and sweet herbals and unreal mountain cherry. So alpine and floral. Captivating and enveloping aromas. Plum skin as well that is so so fine. Stunning purity, breadth and detail the nose. Enchanted forest floor aromas. Keeps changing and changing. Just stunning. 9.6 or 9.7 on the nose. Smell like Grand Cru Burgundy. ZOMG the palate. Insane fruit and sweetness. So sweet and so intense. Wow. Mid to late season red and black cherries. Just so elegant and pure. Suave and chewy but silken tannins and impossible length. Just sickness. So long. Endless. Sappy and noble. There is a very serious and substantial structure here. This is truly amazing wine. Better than the 15. Needs air and I’ll be back. 9.6 for now.

After air the texture on this is truly stunning. So velvety. Amazing sweetened and no hard edges. Nose has so much Burgundian sous bous now and really is in Clos Vougeot territory. Brilliant. An elite wine. This is very close to a 9.7 but not quite. Only age is holding it back now. — 5 years ago

Nervy bright with aromas and flavors of bing cherry and earth. Just lovely enjoyed with Sea Bream in the country of origin, Switzerland. — 7 years ago

Raspberry, smoke, and definitely black pepper. Less fruit than a Williamette, more pepper than a Beaune. Very good. Food friendly. — 9 years ago
