@Delectable Wine From Switzerland. Basel-Stadt. Pinot Noir.

Too young. But glorious mountain Pinot.

Just opened this. One can tell this will be a journey. I would only open this if you have at least 2-3 hours to Taste it. It’s all over the place on open. Basically tastes like if Ziereisen made wine in the mountains.

Nose is dense but has that alpine thing you get from like savoie. Very pretty. Almost intoxicating. Like a field of flowering cherry trees on top of a mountain.

Palate is very bright. Sweet cherry fruit.

A 9.5 easy on open. I’m guessing this will be better as it airs and integrates.

As this opens holy fuck. Nose is alpine with some gevrey spice. Palate is rubber made from grape vines (I know impossible), cherry. Rich. Elegant Cherry extract. Just a kiss of bitterness. Wowowowowo. So elegantly rich. Unbelievable.

Bought from fass selections.
