Peter Wegelin - Scadenagut
Malanser Blauburgunder
Malans, Bündner Herrschaft, Graubünden, Switzerland
Gorgeous nose. Unreal cherry vivacity. Also a hint of aromatic creaminess. I can see the colors! Lovely intense and driving minerality and ultra precise. My oh my is this juicy and precise. Unreal clarity of fruit. Just scintillating. So nimble and clear. So well made. Ultra refined and powdery tannins and just gorgeous purity. Holding back but I will be here all night folks. Now with air the finesse is picking up as is the focus. This is truly great Pinot!

I’ve had Wegelin’s Brut and Chardonnay before, but this is my first red (Blauburgunder = Pinot Noir). Very nice! Quite closed and overly young at first, but it starts to open quickly. Tart cherry and currant, focused acidity and mineral dryness. Medium body, 13% abv. Tasting it with Bresaola, which is similar to Bündnerfleisch from Graubünden. Perfect pairing! Will see how this develops. @Lyle Fass
Follow up a couple hours later: the fruit shows much more with dry blueberries and raspberries under the acidity. Prime drinking after 3+ hours.
