Unbeatable at this price point. Ridiculous complexity. Strawberry, black forest herbs, touch crushed marble, hint white pepper, fresh juicy acidic ripe Italien prune plums. I have no idea how they do this. — 3 days ago

Much less interesting then the 2018. Which I reviewed just recently. This wine is elegant with mostly red fruit, cherry (but not in your face) hint of black currant, Plenty of acidity. Touch bark. Subdued crushed marble. May be i am tasting this too young. But over all this just does not strike me as a wine which challenges my palate. Compared to the 2021 E&M‘s from Baden. This is very blah. — 4 months ago

Stunning example of this wine which i have been drinking since the 2009 vintage. Rose and intense dark cherry 🍒 on the nose. Touch volatility. Let this blow off. Very dense cherry, very burgundian, could be a 1er Cru NSG blind. But alas it has this E&M touch - black forest slope vines - and whole clusters which i am sure went into this wine. Wild oregano, orange peal, crushed marble. Can easily run for 3-5 more years. Plenty of tannins left. 2018 turns out to be a fabulous vintage for E&M. — 6 months ago

Rotten eggs on the nose. Once this blows off this turns out to be an excellent and interesting Burgh like Pinot for less money. Terrific aromatics. Cherry, earth, touch crushed marble, hint meyer lemon, some spice, just a hint of all-spice.Only 12.5% yeah! — 16 days ago

Baden. Pinot. Kaiserstuhl. An old vulcano in the rhine valley. GG. Warmest area in Ger. figs grow there. Undertasted, ratet und non existent in the US. A suitcase import. Under imported. And overpriced when they are imported. Bought this for 20 bucks in 2012. Brown tinge. Orange zest nose, brown tinge. In the glass blueberries, bark, touch crushed marble, cardamom, hint turmeric, cherries and black tea. Great juice! Might go back May 2024. — 6 months ago

Purchased on release . Shame on me, I did a very poor job of allowing it to show its best. I did not decant this hours before. Aromatically reserved with moments of cherry & cranberry. In the mouth generous acidity but built like a block of marble. Once again only hints of what is there. My first time with Truchot and given the pricing likely my last😢. — 6 months ago

Tried side by side. Tasting these since 2009. These are now classic wines. The vineyards are very close to the tree line of the western slope of the black forest in Baden. Who knows what these clones are? May be the Cluny Monks brought them up from France. These are world class Grand Cru level Pinots and are stupid underpriced. With age they turn into incredible beauties which easily match GranCru Burghs. Will be a 10 in 5 years from now. The Muschelkalk is always lighter in color ethereal and elegant. Black forest thyme, touch crushed marble, wild sour raspberry, hint of black forest morello cherries, cranberry, Mexican lime, green moos. This needs to uncoil over night to really get the potential of this. Quite acidic. 12.5%. A stellar vintage. And sleeping beauty. I would say not approachable for a novice at this point. Lucky for me my neighbors get it. Revisit in 2031. — 2 months ago

I did. see one comment were this wine lost it. But this bottle seems to be fine. Yet i would definitely pull the 17’s from the cellar and drink them up. Perfumed, Cumin - never had that in a wine. Crushed marble. Very good. Tons of tannins. Unique. More in 2 hours. Still great. Pine needles, More tomorrow. — 6 months ago
