Hansruedi Adank

Fläscher Spondis Pinot Noir

This blew my (and hubs) doors off. Light and deft touch with an underlying smoky/sultry thing going on. As Lyle would say- nose is off the charts. Approachable but also makes me stop and ponder- a lot going on to love — 2 years ago

La Mourziere Les Coteaux de Sierre Humagne 2020

I have FINALLY tried wine from the rare Humange Rouge grape, grown deep in the Swiss Alps, and it did not disappoint.

Black cherry and Cranberry to start before settling into a herbal and lightly mineral finish. The way it twists from one into the other is beautiful.

I have loved the Swiss chasselas I tried from Paccot! Would love to try a rouge from there!

Le Grand Pinot Noir 2016

Lyle Fass
9.6

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.

Sounds like a great wine. Although technically really in Baden and not the Alps. As you know Riehen is across the Rhine - one of the enclaves of Switzerland 🇨🇭 on the ‘wrong side of the border on the ‘Hochrhein’ next to Basel.
