Community Tasting Note

gilrbo Likes this wine:

Saturday, February 22, 2014 - An introduction to Swiss wines (Our place, Bern, Switzerland): Tasted blind against other three PN and followed over two days.
The darkest of the four, medium ruby, clear.
It starts on deep, serious tones, with some oak and an intriguing complexity. On day two it is more on toasted bread notes, then cherries, with vanilla. The oak is there.
Great intensity and power on the palate, in beautiful balance. On the first day I am disappointed by the finish, which seems a bit abrupt. It improved on day 2 and 3, when both tannins and the acidity become more evident, together with an interesting saline touch. The acidity I perceive on day 3 convinces me that on the first day it was just hidden by the exuberant fruit. It seems this has more substance and structure than the others and promises to age well.
