ELECTUS 2010 - Jancis Robinson’s tasting note

Deliberately crafted to be Switzerland's first 'icon wine', a blend of Cornalin, Humagne Rouge, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Diolinoir, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

« Deliberately crafted to be Switzerland's first 'icon wine', a blend of Cornalin, Humagne Rouge, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Diolinoir, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Mid crimson. Intricate nose that recalls redcurrants, a hint of leather, an edge of graphite and a grainy texture with lots of freshness. Many layered and very satisfyingly persistent finish. This is obviously very youthful. Firm rather than obviously sweet. A subtle wine. A good 24 hours later it was still in very good condition and was a bit more expressive. Pimento dust to the fore! Lots of interest - though if I were given this blind I would be completely at sea; no obvious relationships with any other wine. Dry finish but lots of luscious fruit on the way there. »

Final grade: 17/20
