Caramel, roasted nuts, lots of substance on the palate; thick, creamy texture, ripe fruit, low acidity but never loses freshness even at room temperature. Some white pepper on the finish. Lovely wine. 17.5/20

Aromas of petrol and lime dominating the nose; the palate has a lovely zip on the entrance, it's less sweet and more herbal / lean than your average Spätlese. But the balance is impeccable for my taste. Not too complex and ends slightly short. 17/20

Yellow fruit, coconuts, roasted sesame and almonds; supple textured palate, buttery but remaining beautiful freshness and acidity; really savory / peppery finish lasting very, very long. Textbook Chardonnay, for me the best of Switzerland. Great vintage as well showing clearly more nuance than the surrounding vintages at least at the moment. 18/20
