Franz Haas
Schweizer Pinot Nero
Nose reminds me of so many things. Burgundian/German but uniquely Alto Adige as well. Fresh dead leaves, dusty cherry, floral, herbal, cherry, cherry flower. Hint of amaro type intensity, like one aroma from a Chinato. So unique. Textured and juicy. Calls back Liaison without the nattie character. Chiseled and precise but structured and young. In need of age. Perfect balance and very elegant. Complex and serious. Needs to open up. 9.2 for now. Long and sappy.

Oct 3rd, 2020Very nice wine that clearly has the potential for some greatness with a bit more age. Beautiful medium red color, lots of fruit on the nose and the early palate, but finishes with good earth and acid. Tasty.

Dec 23rd, 2017Bought at wine store in Italy for 35 euros.
Drinkable now although 2014 vintage. Very clean after taste, easy to drink on its own, more fruit forward

Love this. Great Pinot - elegant tannins, lovely depth and complexity. The best grapes from the year - and it shows.

Nov 29th, 2016Strongly recommended! satiny tannins, low in acidity, not too strong. Perfect with different food, complex meat dishes as well as lighter one.
