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. — 6 days ago

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

Absurdly good. See previous descriptions and ratings. Essentially Pinot does not get better than this. 12.5%. And this from a very bad vintage. — 2 months 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! — 25 days ago

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.

12.5%. Hard to believe is. — a month ago

39$. Besides Enderle & Molls Pinot based Rosé for less $$$ - this is one of the best on the the planet. But 39$. Yet worth it. Dense, dark, almost like a Pinot, tannic, Rasberries, Strawberries, Cherry, Melon, Basil comes to mind???? may be. The 2023 is very very fruit driven - what a wine. From Max Kogod. He is a little more expensive but has unique stuff. — 2 months ago

I really liked this wine when tasted at the winery in May 2024. Now it seems closed - the exuberant fruit i remembered is gone (tried 2 bottles to be sure). These recent samples (Dec. 27th) did drink more like reds and lacked the usual „man what is this“ wow effect of E&M. Faint hint of strawberry, elegant and pure. Opens up after 4 hours. — 22 days ago

A little bit of a port wine nose. Brown tinge. Seems to me as one of the more difficult vintages E&M had to care for. Round, mature, herbaceous, lime, quite earthy and acidic. I would start drinking this 2017. — 4 months ago
