The 2014 Arcotondo is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc that has been aged for 18 months in barriques (new and up to three years old). Dark ruby in color, this is super ripe and aromatic flavored red with purity and elegance on the nose. Dark cherries and plums on the nose. Silky textured, fresh and juicy, this is a lovely aromatic and well-structured#though not very concentrated#Bordeaux blend. It has purity, finesse and elegance. Nice bitter flavors in the finish, firm yet fine and with ripe tannins. It is moderate in alcohol at 12.5%. This wine is delicious today but should still be excellent after eight or more years.

91/100 Punkte Falstaff
Kräftiges, frisches Rot; frische Pinot-Nase, rote Früchte; schöner Auftakt, mittelgewichtig, präsente Säure, weiches Tannin, spürbares Holz. Elegant, braucht noch etwas Zeit um das Holz zu integrieren.

Stäger's 2015 Pinot Noir Barrique from Maienfeld has a dark ruby color and offers a pure, deep, fresh, spicy/flinty and elegant bouquet of ripe dark fruits. Full-bodied, vital and fresh on the palate, with a tiny bit of CO2 and a tight, vital structure as well as lingering minerals and fine tannins, this is a stunningly good wine with a long, complex finish. Still terribly young but vibrant and tight, this 2015 has great aging potential of at least 15 years. Ex-cellar price: 30 CHF. Tasted in Zurich, August 2017.

The 2014 Malanser Blauburgunder Reserva has a dark purple color and opens with a very toasty but also floral, slatey bouquet of perfectly ripe cherry and dark berry aromas. Full-bodied, ripe and sweet on the silky palate, this is an intense and stunningly powerful Pinot Noir for that difficult vintage. Its fruit is quite developed, but the wine is still very firm and provided with lots of mealy tannins that are still a bit dry on the finish. This is an excellent long-distance runner that should be cellared for another 7-8 years.

The 2015 Osterfingen Oberhallau Blauburgunder Zwaa offers a clear, fresh, fruit-intense and spicy bouquet of ripe, thick-skinned cherries along with some toasty notes. The full-bodied wine is silky textured, elegant and reveals rich, intense fruit along with a lot of power. The tannins are fine and ripe, the finish very aromatic and concentrated. An impressive but powerful Pinot Noir from Schaffhausen that is sourced from two different plots, one on heavy clay soils, the other on gravels.

Bottled at the end of March 2017, the 2015 Schinznach Wanne is 100% Chardonnay that opens pure, fresh and untamed as well as pretty reductive on the nose, almost like a Chablis. Full-bodied, rich and complex on the palate, with round, intense, juicy fruit, this is a remarkable Chardonnay with fine yet firm tannins and a chalky, pretty persistent and salty finish. Impressive but terribly young.
