The nose immediately pulls you in. Just spellbinding. Insane florals and black cherry plus mid season red cherries and crazy spice. Cranberry bog and mashed blackberries as well. Just a stunning nose. 9.7. Palate starts off with some pokey acid but there is an engaging suppleness underneath and a gorgeous plush texture. Soft yet firm like a great mattress. Wow the black cherry on the nose is super elite. Textured, juicy and really coming into its own. The fruit on the palate is outrageous and top top notch. The nose gets herbal with loads of Swiss alpine love and unreal clarity. The texture is like a pillow and the fruit presentation on the palate is just next level. So silky like the most silky I have had less Brisset. Stunning wine. Curious to see where it goes but right now it’s blowing my mind. After 5 hours open the nose is buzzing with herbs, cherry skins and luscious cherry fruit that is all red. Glorious, Nose still a 9.7, but closer to a 9.8 now. Palate is silkier but also a bit closer, which these wines tend to do. Go through a closed phase like this and re-emerge. Let’s see what tomorrow brings. — 8 days ago

Such a complex nose, smells like insane GC Chablis, stones, wet stones, spices like baking spices and also, amazing acidity and structure. Elegance. So so dense. The elegance and class of this wine is out of this world. It’s so complex and so fine and so refined.

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. — 2 months ago

I’ve had Wegelin’s Brut and Chardonnay before, but this is my first red (Blauburgunder = Pinot Noir). Very nice! Quite closed and overly young at first, but it starts to open quickly. Tart cherry and currant, focused acidity and mineral dryness. Medium body, 13% abv. Tasting it with Bresaola, which is similar to Bündnerfleisch from Graubünden. Perfect pairing! Will see how this develops. @Lyle Fass

Follow up a couple hours later: the fruit shows much more with dry blueberries and raspberries under the acidity. Prime drinking after 3+ hours. — a year ago
