50th. Almost no memory of this. Elegant and pure. So nimble. Did get lost. Not a wine to drink with a bunch of other wines.

Nov 28th, 2024Best bottle yet. Just iconic. No formal notes as sold out and I just enjoyed it.

Jun 18th, 2024Absolutely 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.

May 1st, 2024Delectable ate my first note on this and I am pretty perturbed but the wine is so damn great I will write an even longer note this time. This is the best Swiss Pinot I have had and this guy is the Swiss Brisset. There is no doubt in my mind. Nose is 9.7 or 9.8. Just sick! Floral like nothing else and cross between Chambolle/Volnay and Vosne. Magic. Lifted and bright with mid season cherries, spice and so much lift. But also breadth and complexity. Nose is a 9.8 as it has that elite floral lift only in the best Pinots. Stunning. It’s a nose one can smell all day. This is just magic. No other word. Why I do what I do. Palate is so nimble and ethereal. So elegant yet flavorful and intense. No hard edges and just gorgeous sour cherry and mid season cherry fruit that’s perfectly ripe and cut with the ripest most delicate tannins. So juicy omg. Complex and mineral like nothing else and the finish just washed one’s palate with intense minerality. Wow. Outrageous inner mouth aromas and just decadent but restrained sweetness. So long and delicate. The finish is like a long, windy road down to the horizon. This is genius. My score will go up with air.

Wow. A wine of stunning purity. Needs a 45 minute decant at a minimum.
Nose muted lilacs. As this opens perfect pinot fruit.
Palate: utterly incredibly pure early season cherries. Incredibly well made. As this opens some more lipstick and joy. Pure mountain air in a bottle. So elegant. Pure filigree.
Expansive internal aromatics. Majestic. Intensely packed florals.
Palate coating finish
