Absolutely phenomenal. Black raspberry, black cherry, white tea, flowers, some red currant. Stellar aromas. Unique. The palate is teeming with energy. Juicy, and slathering minerals. Velvety tannins but also substantial. This needs to flesh out but the underlying everything is brilliant. After 19 hours open the nose is softer and more expressive. Really a lipstick like intensity and just evolved so much overnight. Loads of Alpine spices. Palate is so round now but still has that energy and that barely there sweetness. Juicy and clean. Wonderful. 9.4 to 9.5. — 5 months ago

Have not had since the estate and wow this is insane. Unreal spice and mineral force. Overwhelming aromas and stunning wet earth. The gout de terroir is unreal. The decadence yet restraint is unreal. I could smell all day. Cherries on cherries on cherries. Cranberry bog, some light red currants. Just insane. Unreal finesse. Wow! Huge fruit soak and density. Massive structure and so pure. This always needs air and wow will this come alive after some air. Just stunning. 9.6 out of the gates. This got amazing after 2-3 hours and was all silk and satin with squeegee levels of red and black cherry fruit. I bet it will be even better tonight. — 7 months ago

I have FINALLY tried wine from the rare Humange Rouge grape, grown deep in the Swiss Alps, and it did not disappoint.

Black cherry and Cranberry to start before settling into a herbal and lightly mineral finish. The way it twists from one into the other is beautiful. — 9 months ago

Nose is floral with integrated richness. Expansive. As this opens you get the godspice. So penetrating and expansive. Elegantly rich. Mountain air infused with Chardonnay. Ocean air. Bit in a good way. Like you are watching the sunset on a cliff with a light breeze.

Palate is lovely rich fruit. Delicious. Good minerality. Almost a mountain meursault feel. Terrific crunchy acids as this opens. Oyster shells

Still a hint of oak. Should dissipate in 6-12 months.

Man this is a beautiful wine. It’s its own thang. Nothing exactly like it. Could be a higher score in 2 years.

I tried Amigne for the first time, it was really interesting, it is semi-sweet so for me it lacked freshness. But overall very well made wine. — 5 months ago

14-year old Müller-Thurgau. Apricot on the nose. Palate is low acid, chewy stone fruit and a slug of diesel. Bitter almond, citrus oil. Love these wines. — 5 years ago

2018 vintage of my favorite Swiss grocery store wine (33% off at Coop!). Unique grape/region, mild, low acidity, bit of fizz. This time with saffron risotto and balsamic chicken cutlets. Merry Christmas Eve eve 😜 — 7 years ago

A quite interesting wine.

Nose: yellow flowers. A tinge of oxidation but pleasantly so.

Palate : yellow delicious but in a good way. Delicious. Dense. Long. Great acidity. It has this elegant dense richness. This roundness on the palate. Nutty. Toasted almond.

Brilliant showing. Brambly red cherries and red berries. Loads of spice and Alpine charm. Fresh grasses, flowers and more. Frankly amazing spice. Palate is fresh and teeming with energy. Opulent and juicy but tense. Generous but electric. A terrific showing. Even better on day 2 with soaring aromas and unreal juiciness. — 6 months ago

This blew my (and hubs) doors off. Light and deft touch with an underlying smoky/sultry thing going on. As Lyle would say- nose is off the charts. Approachable but also makes me stop and ponder- a lot going on to love — 2 years ago

One of the best Swiss Pinot Noirs. Just a stunning stunning example. Nose is all woodland berries, mountain spice, insane florals and sweet herbals and unreal mountain cherry. So alpine and floral. Captivating and enveloping aromas. Plum skin as well that is so so fine. Stunning purity, breadth and detail the nose. Enchanted forest floor aromas. Keeps changing and changing. Just stunning. 9.6 or 9.7 on the nose. Smell like Grand Cru Burgundy. ZOMG the palate. Insane fruit and sweetness. So sweet and so intense. Wow. Mid to late season red and black cherries. Just so elegant and pure. Suave and chewy but silken tannins and impossible length. Just sickness. So long. Endless. Sappy and noble. There is a very serious and substantial structure here. This is truly amazing wine. Better than the 15. Needs air and I’ll be back. 9.6 for now.

After air the texture on this is truly stunning. So velvety. Amazing sweetened and no hard edges. Nose has so much Burgundian sous bous now and really is in Clos Vougeot territory. Brilliant. An elite wine. This is very close to a 9.7 but not quite. Only age is holding it back now. — 5 years ago
