  • Bought a set of Fromm’s Pinots several years back and thought it was time to check in on their mid tier Selvenen. Pnp. A very healthy matt garnet, not showing its 9 years of age. Pretty nose with some whole cluster joining the fruit, the palate cannot entirely hold up, round and fairly rich dark fruit but lacking delineation. With more air the richness fades a bit and you get more earthy notes starting to dominate. Short to medium finish.
    Good but fairly simple Pinot, curious to see if Fromm’s top two wines show similarly or better in the good 2013 vintage.

  • I should drink more wines from my home country. What a trememdous effort by Fromm. The nose is very classic with strawberries, bacon, smoke, violets, cinamon and chalk. On the palate this pinot is well structured with moderate oak, perfect harmony of acidity and tannins and good lenght. This almost has some northern rhone syrah flavours except from the blueberries and spicyness. The wine opened up during the evening and was best after 3 hours when the bottle was gone. The Selvenen will be even better in 3-5 years down the road. These pinots from the top producers in the bündner herrschaft are getting better year by year and outshine many a burgundy and German spätburgunder in the same (and higher) price range. If you have a chance to get it don't hesitate and buy as many as you can get.
