Wow! So glad I bought a bottle of this. Funky on opening. After 2 hours it is so good. Violets, roses, cherry, baking spice is in background, there’s an earth/herbal component I cannot pinpoint. It is so drinkable but evolves with almost every sip. Need more Pinots like this in my life. — 3 days ago

Unbeatable really. See my previous and Lyle’s notes. But i would say drink up. — a month ago

Glorious nose of blackberry flower, dark black cherries, tiniest hint of VA only adds to the allure. Super focused nose and provocative. Gorgeously high tones. Palate is so rich, energetic and with tons of sweet black fruits. Unreal inner mouth aromas and painfully concentrated with inane tiny berry fruit intensity. Powdery tannins that are ripe and sweet and above all this has class and refinement. Wow. Day 2 the nose comes alive with dark violets and the fruit is a bit redder today. Palate is so supple, sweet and soft but with great energy. Great complexity and wow that acid! Fruit is redder today but dark redder and such awesome tannins. — 2 months ago

Nose: very floral. Pink roses. A hint of violet.

Palate: very fresh. Bright cherries. A hint of bitterness on the finish. Some lovely grippy texture. Some fruit clings to the palate.

Let’s see where this goes. I’m leaving half for tomorrow. This is hiding the goods today.

90 minutes in utter genius.

A perfect Spätburgunder from Baden — the closest a German Pinot Noir has tasted to Burgundy, and an excellent value at ~$40 a bottle.

Classic Pinot noir flavors of cherry, raspberry, and earth. — a month ago

Really beautiful and complex Pinot, very aromatic nose and balances flavor that leaned slightly savory without throwing off the balance — 2 months ago

THIS Is NOT ENDERLE and MOLL. It’s Domaine Seven Endele.

Nose: incredibly dense. Cherry. Spice. Dark lilacs. Quite penetrating. Alluring is the word. Hints of pink roses.

Palate: dense cherries. Cherry spice. Maybe a hint of cherry y cough syrup. Savory. Some elegant richness. Maybe a mere hint of stem. As this opens silky texture.

Some dark cherry licorice on the finish.

A bit tight. Better in 2 years or with a decant.

Slighty better wine now (see my old notes) - First flat after 1 hour it shows. Elegant could benefit from a little more fruit. OK but not wow. For some reason her Pinots have not won me over. Certainly not Enderle & Moll level! — 6 days ago

These E&M wines are just stupido! What do i mean by this? Popped opened. Joined 2 bottles into one because i was not convinced/unhappy. Got close to the sink. Then decided leave in the fridge for 2 weeks. And Voilà now quite awesome. Strawberries, tart, rhubarb, ….bark, more red than Rosé. Dark, complex, orange zest, dark cherry. Would age this 2-3 years. Revisit and then decide on even more cellar time. — a month ago

Very very good. Really no Burgh can match this especially not at the price point. Hint volatility which blows off. Fantastic pinot fruit - mostly dark fruit interspersed with earth and dirt, violets and dark cherry/lime. Basically one of the best out there. 2022E & M’s are awesome. This in on the earthy side from Sven Enderle. Florian Moll’s version is more floral and juicy - both absolutely world class - long live Baden! — 3 months ago
