Pinot Noir

Typical Gantenbein in a great year.

Simply the best Swiss pinot. Nothing more to add

Remains my favorite Swiss wine. Smokey, long burn, existential.

No comments needed. This is just terrific.

The “DRC” of Switzerland - drinks like grand cru burgundy - very allocated 36 bottles avail in the us- on my list @shagbarkrva- the only 10 I’ve ever rated

Just terrific. The wine is in between a great burgundy (volnay) and an Oregon Pinot Noir. New world power and forwardness and old world elegance and finesse. A joy to drink in any vintage but 2015 is just superb.

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 .
