Bbq, bacon, toasty, smoky oak, coffee, lovely pinot fruit, dark cherries, meat; true harmony on the palate, fresh, deep, fruity, so young but already with complexity and depth and excellent length. Just breathtaking. Will age for decades. 18.5+/20

Holzbetont in der Nase, Kräuterpeck, dahinter rote Frucht, feine Würze, Sauerkirschen, Blutorangen. Der Gaumen ist zugänglich, lebendige Säure, feine Tannine, der Wein hat eine gute Struktur und eine knackige Frucht, das Holz wirkt im Gaumen weniger markant, als die Nase vermuten lässt. Langer, rotfruchtiger Abgang.

The beautiful Café Belmont , St Moritz (Café Belmont , St Moritz): One knows when one strikes hold when given the task to a wine lover wine bar owner to pick a wine for blind for you this is selected. And this was our moment at the beautiful Café Belmont , St Moritz. Served blind and the nose and the colour pointed to Pinot Noir, definitely old world. We went with burgundy 10yrs old premier cru. We struggled to find the terroir though, not smoky dark enough for Gevrey and a bit richer tan would have expected for the others. We went with a modernist from Chambolle. The wine revealed was a great surprise and probably among the top 3 of 2023 ( apparently their Chardonnay is even better) . Lovely harmony, richer than a burgundy but just enough to add a different dimension. Exceptional find.94 easy.

Great, just great. The headiness of the Pinot and the strong oak base, it's perfect. What a great wine.
