Nose starts with some reduction but those sweet sweet cherries are underneath. Stunning spice and with some coaxing now I am back in Jenins tasting with Jan Luzi. Gorgeous nose now. Enveloping and complex with great breadth. Fantastic palate with unreal freshness and purity and terrific acid and tannic (elegant) architecture. Dense and juicy with just awesome texture and refinement. My goodness the fruit is so good. Stunning. Fresh. Bursting and super super pure. This is even better than I remember. It’s got perfect balance and vibrates on its own plane. Brilliant wine! Terrific inner mouth aromas and structure to burn. Outrageous length. Wow. On day 2 this goes to a 9.6 as the fruit gets even more pure, a little darker and is just ultra delicious. — 5 days ago

Great Pinot from Graubünden. New producer to me. Very fragrant, juicy red fruit, and a wonderful finish filled with Fall spices, vanilla and red licorice. Smooth with a woodsy, earthy feel. Takes me to the Alps in summer. I popped and poured, and there is hardly any alc showing - so balanced. 13.5% abv. Will also be great when it gets colder again. It’s overcast and cool today, like Swiss weather, so it works. Thanks @Lyle Fass @Delectable Wine this is vom Lindenwingert. — 2 months ago
