Thomas Studach Malanser Pinot Noir 2018 [Magnum]

Thomas Studach's Malanser Pinot Noir 2018 comes from a winery in Malans and embodies a characteristic Swiss Pinot Noir elegance: cool, precise, with delicate fruit yet depth. The 2018 vintage shows particular maturity in magnum bottles, as the bottle and aging process allow for harmonious development. Critics from Falstaff, Parker, Jancis Robinson, Jeff Leve, and Wine Spectator highlight the terroir, balance, and aging potential of this Pinot Noir, which clearly reflects the winemaker's style.

Tasting note: In the glass, it presents an intense ruby ​​red with garnet reflections. The bouquet offers ripe cherries, red currants, violets, and a delicate spiciness; on the palate, it displays an elegant structure, silky tannins, mineral freshness, and a subtle oak note. The wine develops depth without being overpowering, and the finish is long, clean, and aromatic with a hint of smoke.

The optimal drinking period is expected to be between 2021 and 2032. Food pairing recommendation: Roast duck with wild mushrooms, lamb chops or mature cheese such as Comté – the fruit, spice and minerality of the Malanser Pinot Noir complement each other perfectly.
