  During a MOT Gantenbein Masterclass. Martha and Daniel, who single-handedly created the first high quality Swiss Wine of World renown, starting 40 years ago, walked through their Kaizen approach of work, clonal selection, vineyard and Cuvée mgmt. The wines were consistently of high quality. I wish there were more Gantenbeins in the Swiss wine landscape, especially the Romandie.
  TN: the 2020 and 2021 were my favorites today but only by a margin of what was a remarkably consistent line up. Both still youthful, with beautiful and very expressive noses of oak toast dark fruit. The 2020 had the denser palate yet with very good balance, a very complete wine. The 2021 was a touch lighter but with higher pitched aromatics, detecting cranberry and even citric notes. Both wonderful, both 95pt.

  Optischer Eindruck: Klares, mittleres rubinrot mit purpur Reflexen
  
  Geruch: Sauber. Mittlere Aromen von roter Kirsche, Himbeer, Eucalyptus, animalisch, Vanille. Erste Reifenoten.
  
  Geschmack: Trocken, mittel (+) Säure, Alkohol 14%, wenig, feinstofiges Tannin, mittlerer Körper mit intensiven Aromen wie in der Nase zusätzlich marmeladig. Langer Abgang.
  
  Schlussfolgerung: Ausgezeichnete Qualität. Der Wein ist aromatisch komplex, hat eine schöne Länge eine Balance Säure/Körper. Er Kann getrunken werden, hat aber noch Lagerpotential.

  Howard Ripley Old World New Wines tasting (Bridewell Hall): Wowow. Mindblowing nose: hugely pronounced earthy, rocky, smoked and gently spiced Pinot character. Some violet and milk chocolate notes. It's simultaneously powerful and delicate. Extremely balanced on the palate - from the nose you expect a hammer blow but it's subtle and delicate, superb definition. Structurally it's totally balanced. Magnificent.
