Eglisau Stadtberg Pinot Noir 2020

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! — a day ago

White peach, saline, rocks, flowers, so subtle yet so beautiful. It’s complex in a serene way. Gorgeous, with wonderful acidity and freshness but also soft and mineral. So much energy but also soft. Gorgeous inner mouth aromas. Tangy, faint hints of citrus. — 6 months ago

Smokey and herbal on the nose with glorious red fruits (sour cherry, early season cherry) and that alpine Swiss herbal thing. Palate is wonderful and deep with astonishing purity and so nimble and elegant. More notes soon just spilled wine all over my pants. Wow the spice factor on the palate is just stunning. A spice bomb. Now the fruit on the nose is gorgeous depth to it. Gorgeous cherry fruit that is startlingly pure. Sweet alpine fruit and spice with silky texture. So juicy and clean. Great complexity and depth. Terrific grip and structure. — 5 months ago

Outrageous nose here. Wet earth galore. White peach, spice and citrus. White and pink grapefruit. The fruit on this nose is unconscious. Blown away. There are white flowers and all of it is just perfume. So gorgeous. The peach and now apricot with air is just so vivid and clear. This is a brilliant wine. What a palate. So juicy and vivid with such astonishing purity. The peach flesh and skins are expressed in similar proportions. It’s so balanced and clean with just terrific freshness. Scintillating acidity and freshness. This is an orb of perfection on the palate. Just a genius bottle of wine. The wispy, subtle effect is balanced by the clarity of the fruit and the terrific acidity. Brilliant! Terriffuc structure and a controlled density. — 5 months ago
