The 2022 Malanser Pinot Noir Michel is based on 23-year-old vines (Swiss clones) and was fermented with 40% whole clusters. The wine is dark and intense in color and opens with remarkably deep, intense and fleshy cherry fruit aromas spiced with delicate tannins and toasty nuances. Silky, lush and refined on the palate, this is a full-bodied, intense and concentrated, very dense yet still juicy Pinot with a powerful, warm and generous finish with red rather than dark fruits and a certain warmth and sweetness. 13.5% stated alcohol. 94 /100 (06.2024) - Wine Advocate
