Brilliant. Just brilliant. Nose is so round and luminous. Black, red cherry, spice, spicey oak, so complex and deep. The palate is just stunning. Soft and viscous with gorgeous satin like texture and juuuuuust short of sweet fruit and a bitter white chocolate note but finishes luscious and mineral. Terrific inner mouth aromas and such gorgeous delicate concentration and such fine tannins. Can’t wait to see what air does. So silky and sweet with air. Unreal texture. So elegant and just awesome fruit. Juicy and so clean. Mineral finish and such fine tannin. — 7 months ago

So so dense. So tight. So coiled. So elegant. So concentrated. Structured. Checking in tomorrow. Nose is so floral, a day later. Very mineral and so expressive. Palate is enormously complex, chewy and dense. My goodness the density of this wine is just insane. It’s barely budged overnight. Fleshier, yes but also there still is more to come. Day 3 awaits. — 2 years ago

(2020)Unreal nose, so salty, so briochey, so good. Unreal depth, so complex and serene. Salty and creamy, so and so dry and has to be zero dosage. Reserve wines and mostly 2020. 2 years on yeast. Unreal mousse. 1.4 dosage. Extra Brut. Sapid, so elegant and just crazy bubbles. saline and salty and also brown butter. Stunningly pure. Made in the evacuation bunker of WWII. So fine. So great. Wonderful. 100% Pinot. BDB coming. Nose is so precise. The brioche is so clearly defined. — 2 years ago

A bit vegetal and restrained. Too young. These grapes tend to be very fruity and heavy, so I appreciate the Swiss restraint. But needs a little more time. Open for 1.5 hours.

Much improved on day 2.

Follow up: I’m trying my second bottle of this, and it’s much more open right from the start. Fruit is showing more - black cherry and dark berries, but not jammy or overly sweet. Maybe my first bottle was a little off? Or my palate wasn’t in the mood. Either way, upping my rating. — a year ago

Really fresh and youthful. Bright fruit. Sour cherry. A bit of that characteristic of Swiss & German Pinot that I don’t quite know how to describe but is different from French Pinot. Still, very nice. — 2 years ago

A brilliant effort, the 2015 Malanser Pinot Noir from iconic winemaker Thomas Studach is game on. Medium ruby, the nose reveals intense aromas of wild strawberry, ripe red and black cherry, wood smoke and menthol. The palate delivers a full-body, excellent levels of ripe and juicy red fruit, fine grained tannins and fresh acidity. A gorgeous Swiss Pinot from a generous vintage. Drink from 2025 until 2035. — 4 years ago

No it’s not a red blend !!! Completer is a native Swiss white varietal, mostly grown in Graubünden, where this example is from. Light straw colour touches of green . Green apple , pear , white flowers , touch of peach perhaps , buttery note also. Quite round in the mouth , more of the pear and apple but also mineral and wet stones and a slightly honeyed note. Balancing and well judged acidity, impressive length . Very enjoyable not showing it’s alarming 14,5% alcohol . Very good — 7 years ago

Nose is hyper floral. Melon, wild mint, savory, MT on steroids yet lyrical. Stunning, sappy, deep, loads of dry extract, unreal density and juiciness. Such succulence, freshness, density and dry extract but with powerful fruit clarity. Love the bitter citrus pith on the finish. — a year ago

Alte Reben 2016
Quite rich for a Pinot yet very elegant. Raspberry and fresh cherry with some nice undergrowth and the eatheric lightness of a great Pinot. Soft and velvety mouthfeel with great acidity and light, perfectly polished tannins. Finishes of with a spicy note. What a delight, and it comes from Graubünden, out of all places. — 7 years ago
