Nose: elegant. Fresh cut hay. As it opens mountain air.
Palate: seashells. Lemon zest. See t minerals. As it opens gods lemon juice.
Needs air. 44 minutes.
As it opens. Salivatory. So good. So distinctive.
This is an iconic Swiss wine. It’s up there with great burgundies. But so different.

What’s a Monday without Delectable eating a tasting note? This is by far the best bottling of this wine I have ever had. Nose of sour cherry, confectionary cherry cotton candy, spice, flowers and mineral. So subtle yet so detailed. Just stunning. Was tight this last summer but this wine has blossomed. Floral as well: This is so so pretty. Palate is gorgeous. Unreal fruit that is subtle as it is elegant. Crunchy and velvety. Sapid and pure. Unreal inner mouth aroma and a controlled density. This is brilliant but not for everybody as it’s not in your face and traffics in subtlety. With an hour of air the fruit is crazy. So dense yet light. Ripe and so elegant. Really stunning. — 3 months ago
Fresh as a daisy with 9 yrs now of age. No notes; gorgeous crushed red fruits & a savory edge, good structure too. Delicious. — 7 months ago
So good to have a quality Swiss Pinot here in the US! Thank you @Lyle Fass . This is just great. Lots of cranberry and sour red cherry, but so refined. The floral and spice notes really balance it out. I’m getting some allspice, but might just be from the holiday season :) Fresh with great length. This makes me so happy, since we won’t be traveling to Zurich this year. Had it with sesame tofu and broccolini (homemade take out Chinese). Weird pairing (would have been better with a dry Mosel Riesling or sparkler) but I still enjoyed it. Zum Wohl! — 8 months ago

Medium light ruby wide light ruby rim . Aromatic and floral on the nose , with rose , violet , red currant , raspberry and spiced cherry , blackberry . On the palate this is quite pretty and red fruited , raspberry , summer fruits , touch of spice . Slightly grippy tannins , fresh acidity , slightly slatley , grafite finish . Still pretty young , from now with a little time in the glass and over the next 5 -10 years . — a day ago
