  Mittleres Rubinrot. Blitzsaubere, von Röstnoten und Räucherfleisch geprägte Nase, sehr typisch für Gantenbein, es ist diese markante und doch sehr schöne Eichenwürze, dazu Sauerkirschen, Kräuter, Gewürze. Im Gaumen saftig, frisch, keine Alterstöne, top Balance, vielleicht nicht ganz die Komplexität der grossen Jahre, einen Tick dünner, jedoch wunderbar ausgewogen und qualitativ definitiv auf hohem Niveau. Langer, rotfruchtiger und feinwürziger Abgang. Aktuell in einem sehr schönen Trinkfenster, Reserven bis 2030+. 92 vvPunkte

  Nose very lifted - moderate pot pourri , the most complete of the flight. No tannins

  At D’s for NYE. Crunchy red fruit, cranberries and earth, with tertiary development of some mushroom and herbs. It is open but reserved and poised. Definitely feels “Burgundian” though you do get some coolness here with touches of bell pepper and stemmy wood spice, that pulls it away from burgundy. I thought this a Loire cab franc made in a very elegant style. Really intriguing and interesting wine.

  No notes taken. This is a well-made Pinot Noir but this bottle didn’t show the typical complex aroma profile the best Gantenbein Pinots can achieve. The frame is fine, the wine has a good freshness and is fairly round and harmonious but overall this bottle was a bit uninspiring, definitely good quality but uninspiring.

  I had this wine a few years back and I was sceptical then. Today confirms tha this is clearly a weaker Gantenbein vintage with less aroma and signs of dilution. The cold 2014 vintage cannot fully hide here after all. We had the stellar 2016 next to it tonight and this one really paled compared to it.
