Le Petit Pinot Noir 2021

Lyle Fass
9.5

Absolutely phenomenal. Black raspberry, black cherry, white tea, flowers, some red currant. Stellar aromas. Unique. The palate is teeming with energy. Juicy, and slathering minerals. Velvety tannins but also substantial. This needs to flesh out but the underlying everything is brilliant. After 19 hours open the nose is softer and more expressive. Really a lipstick like intensity and just evolved so much overnight. Loads of Alpine spices. Palate is so round now but still has that energy and that barely there sweetness. Juicy and clean. Wonderful. 9.4 to 9.5. — 2 months ago

Have not had since the estate and wow this is insane. Unreal spice and mineral force. Overwhelming aromas and stunning wet earth. The gout de terroir is unreal. The decadence yet restraint is unreal. I could smell all day. Cherries on cherries on cherries. Cranberry bog, some light red currants. Just insane. Unreal finesse. Wow! Huge fruit soak and density. Massive structure and so pure. This always needs air and wow will this come alive after some air. Just stunning. 9.6 out of the gates. This got amazing after 2-3 hours and was all silk and satin with squeegee levels of red and black cherry fruit. I bet it will be even better tonight. — 4 months ago

La Mourziere Les Coteaux de Sierre Humagne 2020

I have FINALLY tried wine from the rare Humange Rouge grape, grown deep in the Swiss Alps, and it did not disappoint.

Black cherry and Cranberry to start before settling into a herbal and lightly mineral finish. The way it twists from one into the other is beautiful.

I have loved the Swiss chasselas I tried from Paccot! Would love to try a rouge from there!

Amigne de Vétroz 2022

I tried Amigne for the first time, it was really interesting, it is semi-sweet so for me it lacked freshness. But overall very well made wine. — 2 months ago

Le Grand Chardonnay 2019

A quite interesting wine.

Nose: yellow flowers. A tinge of oxidation but pleasantly so.

Palate : yellow delicious but in a good way. Delicious. Dense. Long. Great acidity. It has this elegant dense richness. This roundness on the palate. Nutty. Toasted almond.

9.4

Brilliant showing. Brambly red cherries and red berries. Loads of spice and Alpine charm. Fresh grasses, flowers and more. Frankly amazing spice. Palate is fresh and teeming with energy. Opulent and juicy but tense. Generous but electric. A terrific showing. Even better on day 2 with soaring aromas and unreal juiciness. — 3 months ago
