Part of the Rare & Special wines of Restaurant Potato in Zermatt.
Modernist in a good way, polished and round and with a good amount of new oak that actually works well with the wine. Good fruit presence , nice rich fruit but in now way heavy or overdone and had a nice elegance to it across. Good 92 and with good ageing capacity too albeit we would prefer this younger than older.

Decanted, I think for about 2 hours. 30% Cornalin, 24% Syrah, 20% Humagne Rouge, 18% Diolinoir, 8% Merlot. Not a bad wine, I just don't rate it higher because it has too much acidity for me at the moment. 90 pts. at the moment.

Pnp at a wine bar. Dark garnet with little evolution. Medium body dominated by dark fruit. Good, almost Tuscany like acidity provides good balance and freshness and the 14.5% (!) alcohol does not show. Fairy short. Easy drinking wine but rather non descript, not sure I get the point of blending more red grape varietals than one can commonly name.

Assemblage en parts égales de Cornalin, Syrah, Humagne rouge, Diolinoir et Merlot avec un peu (probablement très peu) de Cabernet. Couleur sombre, nez de sous-bois, fruits rouges et noirs, bouche équilibrée, prête, très fruitée, manque sans doute de puissance et de longueur, très peu de tannins, un bon vin très agréable mais qui n'atteint probablement pas les niveaux annoncés à la sortie de ce Blockbuster valaisan...

Appearance: Bright and clear, the wine is of deep ruby colour, with fading rims and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity aromas of black fruit of blackberry, red fruit of cherries, kernel notes of chocolate, oak notes of vanilla, animal notes of meaty, herbaceous notes of green bell pepper, pungent spice notes of licorice. The wine is developing.
Palate: Dry with medium acidity, the wine has medium (+), velvety tannin, with medium (+) alcohol, medium (+) body and exhibiting medium (+) intensity of flavours of black fruit of blackberry, red fruit of cherries, oak notes of toast, sweet spice of clove, kernel notes of walnut. The wine has a medium finish.
Conclusion: Very good quality Swiss Valais with an intense nose showing good complexity, with a mix of black fruit and red fruit, plenty of oaky vanilla and chocolate, and the herbaceous notes to reflect the cooler climate of the area. On the palate it is refined with finesse, showing good concentration of flavours and a reasonable length on the finish. It is ready to drink now but can further develop for another 2-3 years.

The oaky aromas are subtle, with a delicate hint of petrol. On the palate it is vibrant with good acidity, with good concentration of flavours and a decent length on the finish. It is ready to drink now and can further develop for another 3-5 years.

Grand Bordeaux 2010 ten years on tasting; 6/21/2020-6/22/2020 (Fribourg): Big Bordeaux 2010 2-day horizontal hosted by a private collector. My 3 main takeaways from the vintage were 1) more frequent perception of heat, 2) a slightly stronger left bank and a less consistent right bank, 3) while in general it is still too early to pop the 2010s, wine selection is key as some appear to be in decline already, especially on the right bank. The top wines were Mouton (99), Margaux (98) and VCC (98). The biggest positive surprise was Clos Manou (95). Biggest disappointment was Pape Clement (86). More details and complete tasting overview included in the tasting story.

Tasting note:
An Easter egg planted in this horizontal. Light, red fruit profile followed by a very fruit forward palate that was not only simple, but really bad with way too much tannin and acidity and everything just entirely at the wrong place.

Tasted blind, added as a pirate in a large Bordeaux 2010 10 years on tasting (served in an all blind flight along some lower-tier satellite appellation wines). This is supposed to do for the wines from the Swiss Valais region what Sassicaia did for Tuscany – a category definer to put it on the fine wine world map. I found it quite uninspiring and slightly overdone. The average of 5 scores was 88.8 points and in this tasting that meant the 61st place (out of 64 wines).

TN: Creamy texture, dark and red fruit, oaky notes (but not the luxurious ones), rather simple and with too much extraction. Rather short.

Decanting: I would give it a long decant.

Yellow Stone fruit, fairly "warm" in the nose but with an intense acidity, this extreme acidity is not as well balanced as in german Rieslings, so it lacks a bit of balance and elegance, but overall nice to drink

Blend of; Cornalin, Humagne Rouge, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Diolinoir, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
Deep, inky ruby with garnet highlights. Pronounced aromas of; balsamic vinegar, vanilla and mint with a core of blackberry, black currant and juniper. Rich and layered on the palate, full and densely structured. Will certainly age well and for the better.

DWCC Iconic Swiss Varietals with Mr. Paolo Basso (Montreux, Switzerland): A blend of Cornalin, Humagne Rouge, Cab Sauv, Syrah, Diolinoir, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. To me this is a bit raisined. There is a nice slate/mineral aspect, but it is awfully full, intense and powerful.

Deep dark black ruby. Chocolate, dark berry fruit, and lime on the nose.
Abundant, still slightly astringent tannins will still benefit from ageing and currently engage the dark fruit, floral components and ivy. The finish is medium long.
