Graf Maisprach Pinot Noir 2022

9.6

Superb. Brambly cherries, glorious spice and Alpine love. Really airy and expansive. Palate is full of minerals and energy. Gorgeous cherry fruit that is so pure and sapid. Velvety tannins that are so well knit. Needs air but this is a superstar. The texture became so creamy but it didn’t sacrifice its minerality. — a day ago

Matthias & Sina Gubler Clos Martha Pinot Noir 2020

Lyle Fass
9.6

Gorgeous aromas. Mid season sweet cherry fruit, spices, some gorgeous sweet oak, wet earth, florals and aromas that penetrate deep in the nasal cavity. Almost some barely ripe blackberry and cassis. Really a whole world of difference than last August. Just silly good aromas. Palate is ripe and juicy with a lithe, silky texture. Awesome purity and balance and such haunting delicacy. Sweet fruit and so nimble this is shockingly great. I vastly underrated this last time. Sweet, lithe and ripe tannins. This is stunning and achingly beautiful. 9.6 for now. Let’s see what air does to this. — 2 years ago

Le Petit Pinot Noir 2019

Nose: sexy. Cherry lipstick. Dense. Quite penetrating. Earthiness. Insane sexy rich herbals. Almost like a red chartreuse.

Palate: dense. Purplish a bit. Darker fruits. Hints of cherry licorice. Almost like a very fresh pommard.

Long finish. So grippy. Amazing.

Hanspeter ziereisen made this in vintage. A sick wine for $100. This was much less.
