Extra point for value. Approachable on opening with moderate tannins. Best after 2+ Hours of slow-ox where it opened up nicely. Garnet color with dense rose petal nose. Raspberry, currant and spice and mild graphite mineral on the palate. Smooth moderate well balanced acidity and tannins throughout a lingering finish. — 2 years ago

Medium pink-red. High-pitched, perfumed aromas of red cherry and plum, with a fresh grapefruit quality and a touch of peach. Deep and juicy, with precise red fruit flavors enlivened by harmonious acidity. Finishes long and suave, with impeccable balance, showcasing lingering red fruit and spice notes. Lots of flavor and only 11.5% alcohol. 100% Nieddera. (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, June 2018)

This thing is gorgeous, a little known gem that could compete with Jura at 2-3x the price. Nosebleeds with ample dried apricot, almonds, orzata/almond milk, some ginger, some baking spice. However, the oxidative notes are wonderfully balanced by a punchy salinity that keeps the whole thing alive. At 10C it hits a peak of expressiveness and drinkability. Closer to 15 and the 15.5% alcohol starts saying hello — 6 months ago
