Tasting notes
From the historic Clos with 15-year-old vines (French clones) on sandy calcareous soils and fermented with 30% to 35% whole clusters, the 2016 Malanser Pinot Noir Schöpfi is spicy, pure and fresh on the deep and concentrated nose, with intense but transparent cherry (skin) aromas and some floral notes. Silky, lush and elegant on the palate, this is a well-concentrated and balanced Pinot with a ripe and generous fruit and a long, tight and tensioned finish with a lingering salinity and cassis/licorice flavors. It is a rather firm, close-meshed and masculine Pinot with remarkable generosity, elegance, finesse and mineral freshness. Highly promising, but it needs time. 93/100 (02.2019) - robertparker.com
