Enderle & Moll
Buntsandstein Pinot Noir
Baden, Germany
A very steely austere Pinot grin that too cold climate but so distinctive.

I think i am one of the few who has back vintages all the way to 2009. So I take these reviews seriously. Even the winery has little if any left. This is extraordinary - fresh raspberries and the E&M classic black forest herbs. Mostly thyme. Cardamom, lime, crushed marble. If you have the wine - taste how this wine unfolds. I would not decant this! Drink up this vintage. And would drink this from 5-60 min after opening. On the super elegant light side. Color almost like a Rose. The E&M style is always there, the quality super high. But sometimes there is variability from vintage to vintage. This is ethereal and super light on its feet but has a depth which is difficult to explain.

Jun 1st, 2024Second bottle this week. Same vintage 2014 what a difference! Out of the gate awesome. The other bottle was just flawed. I took it off the website. Refined cherry 🍒 so soft. More in 20 min. Orange juice, raspberry, resinous, 🌿 Black Forest herbs. Very very classic Enderle & Moll. A benchmark wine. Boy is this good. I would suggest however to drink up. And while these are getting more expensive I bought into the 2021 vintage and will visit them in June. They have shown that their wines WILL age. Essentially drank the bottle myself at the party.

Herbal shapeshifter. I think this one needs some time. Drink the Liaison now.

Feb 4th, 2017Ridiculous pale in color. Thyme nose. White pepper and dark berries but which one? in the glass. Genius wine making in the bottle in a difficult year. Needs days to open up. I not kidding!!!😎. Was opened on Friday night poured from the bottle into a thermos on Saturday as a secret stash for an open air Adams family musical and just now shows its full potential Sunday afternoon out of the thermos.

Oct 2nd, 2016Very light in color. Grows on sandstone - old vines. Extremely difficult to read at this stage. The classic herbaceous terroir of the sites north of Freiburg on the slopes of the black forrest shines through. Chalky after 3 hours the wine mellows out. Tight this needs at least 5 years in the bottle. Since I collect these I know this will be incredible down the road therefore the high rating. For experts only 😏.

Similar impression to the last vintage though maybe a little leaner, if such a thing is even possible! This is probably the palest, most ethereal red wine in the world.

Tricky vintage. Was expecting a bit more from this to be honest. Bottle variation?
