2015 Pinot Noir Unique

From another very warm vintage but with more finesse and elegance in the wines compared to 2013 or 2009, the 2015 Pinot Noir Malans Unique brings fruit and terroir aromas to a new dimension. The wine opens pure and flinty on the rather coolish nose that is fresh, slatey and spicy, with iodine notes. Tight and fresh on the palate, this is a silky, concentrated and spicy, subtly intense and spectacularly sustainable Pinot Noir with great aging potential. The combination of intensity and roundness (or fruit sweetness) with energy, elegance and tight but refined and spicy tannins is indeed unique here. Impressive length and intensity. Another great Swiss Pinot Noir! 14% stated alcohol. Tasted from magnum in Zurich, April 2022.
