Absolutely transcendent. The best bottle of Swiss Pinot I have ever had. A finish for the ages. Aromas that are between Morey and Chambolle. Just all class. One of the best wines last 2-3 years. — 7 days ago

Malanser Pinot Noir 2015

Characteristically of cold region Pinot Noir: thin, bitter, although every other time the sip is sweetish, smelling deep dark roses — 4 months ago

Adank Fläscher Chardonnay

Nose: white flowers. Specks of Mineral dust.

Palate: young pineapple. So precise. Hidden density. Great balance. Terrific brightness.

Maienfeld Pinot Noir 2021

This needs an hour decant.

Nose is floral. Early season cherry. Mountain herbs.

Palate is very precise early season cherry. Excellent juiciness.

Long and sapid finish. So juicy.

92.5 on open.

Has this alpine character. A Bourgogne rouge … but a decidedly Swiss one.

As this opens some elegant richness and more density. More delicious.

Bought from fass selections.

Fläscher Chardonnay 2017

High minerality, saline, lush and full bodied. Extremely refined would make many grand and premier grand cru burgundies blush. — 7 days ago

One of the best Swiss Pinots we sell and it is a smoke show in 2020. Wow. Ethereal perfume of sappy cherries, black cherries, late season cherries, light smokey oak, camphor, burnt fireplace embers, decaying leaves, vanilla extract and spice. So complex and deep. 9.7 nose. Insane. Wow! Wow! So complex, elegant and juicy. Sweet fruit with tons of energy but my goodness what finesse and sleek fruit. This is amazing. The finish has a lipstick like intensity. Stunning on the PNP and I am sure will improve with air. What a finish. Goes on and on. This has such a weightlessness to it plus top notch fruit clarity. Unreal delicacy. Just a stunning showing.

What a nose on day 2. Unreal harmony, purity and clarity. The essence of cherries. Blown away. So expansive. Palate is silken, sweet finessed pinot fruit with a long sappy finish. Remarkable.

@Lyle Fass So good to hear! Probably some Merlot, some Chasselas and more Pinot Noir? I note you like Syrah from the Rhone Valley. If you get some good Syrah from the Vallais Region in Switzerland you‘ll probably like too

@Fabio Franchella no merlot, no chasselas, no syrah (well one Gerard Besse but I dropped him) Only Pinot and Chardonnay as that’s where Switzerland really excels and also what my clients want.

The Swiss are coming on strong. A beautiful, easy drinking red. Lighter body, medium to higher acid just as I like it. — 2 months ago
