Oak dominated nose, covers the fruit a bit. Smoke, bacon, some vanilla, a hint of cherry. Good concentration, tannins and acidity are present, nice fruit, a minimal sweetness. Should age well. I'll give it some more years for a more integrated and balanced experience. One criticism, though: if at all, I am negatively impressed by these extra heavy bottles.

Dernière bouteille de ce millésime…hélas! Excellent comme toujours, nous adorons ce pinot noir des Grisons que nous buvons toujours un peu trop rapidement… Heureusement il reste le 2018, santé!

Nose dominated by oak right after opening, so give this wine 1 hour of air. Then wonderful nose of blackberry and cherry, combined with some earthy notes and well integrated oak. Very nicely balanced on the palate, powerful but still elegant and without harshness. Nicely concentrated fruit with the right amount of acidity and tannins. Very long finish. This is definitely one of my favourite Swiss Pinots! Great!

Robe rubis moyen. Au nez, les arômes de griottes, de fleurs et de fumée prédominent. En bouche, bien structuré, barriqué, acide, minéral, équilibré, long. Excellent une fois de plus.
