April 3, 2022 - Donatsch Unique Pinot Noir Complete Vertical (Dolder Grand, Zurich): Tasted at the Matter of Taste Zurich Complete Donatsch Unique Pinot Noir Vertical (2000-2019, all from Magnum) Masterclass. A nice and fresh, puristic fruit profile but with a sweet angle to it. Additional accents of herbs, minerals and roasted coffee beans. Fresh, light but nonetheless structured and refined palate. For me this was a mix of 2003 and 2005.

April 3, 2022 - All 20 Vintages of Donatsch Pinot Noir Unique: Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to taste all vintages ever produced of this top Swiss Pinot Noir. All from magnum. A few obeservations: A) The structural frames are exceptional. Superb tannin quality, high, and perfectly-integrated acidity, lots of finesse and a weightless feel in all vintages. B) These wines are made to age. Only the 2002 was over-the-hill, most other showed young(-ish) from magnum and will have a long life ahead. Only the first vintage (2000) showed tertiary/peakish. C) The wines start drinking quite well from the age of 12-15 years. The younger ones from the 2010 vintage onwards were more about the potential with many even a bit closed. D) There's a jump in complexity with the 2004 vintage. Most (open) wines show beautifully complex, very well delinated, pure and Burgundian in style with a well-measured touch of sexiness.
TN: Medium expressive nose, dispalying dark red fruit, minerality, smoke, stems. On the palate this is all about freshness, a superb purity of fruit, a cooler fruit expression with lots of blue fruit aromas mixing with the red fruit aromas. Smoke, stems, earthy notes, crushed rocks. With time more and more toasty and coffee notes. This is fantastic on the palate with such a superb freshness, ultra fine, slightly melted tannins, a nice creaminess, very weightless and a very long finish. Wow. 96 pts
