Absolutely transcendent. The best bottle of Swiss Pinot I have ever had. A finish for the ages. Aromas that are between Morey and Chambolle. Just all class. One of the best wines last 2-3 years. — 6 days ago

Nose: white flowers. Specks of Mineral dust.

Palate: young pineapple. So precise. Hidden density. Great balance. Terrific brightness.

Palate is fruity. Somewhat high dosage but delicious. Sort of Marie demets tradition. — 2 years ago

Blinded. The table was split on its origin - it was between Germany or France. I leaned towards the latter in my guess, but found it hard to place it in any of the Burgundy villages. A Coteaux Champenois perhaps?

Can’t say I was too surprised when it was revealed to be a Swiss Pinot Noir, but it sure stumped everyone (I encountered a very similar situation in my first meeting with Gantenbein’s now famed Swiss Pinot’s - very Burgundian yet hard to place). Clearly a very animating Pinot. Very fine pure fruit of sour cherries and blackberries. It also features notes of cloves, pepper, dried roses, and hints of smoke and oak toast. The palate was juicy with a rather impressive mid-palate concentration, which really gained with air. The finish tightens up with salty-acidic minerality and a touch of pleasant bitterness. Delicious! — 2 years ago
