Pinot Noir
@Delectable Wine this is just called “Pinot Noir. Thanks.
This is a blend of 30% 17 and 70% 18 as Sven thought 17 was too light. Stunning nose. Ethereal sour and sweet mid season cherries. Wild mint and spice. What a palate. Wonderful purity, crunch, sweetness and silky depth. Awesome. Really elegant and lovey persistence. So delicate and lacey. Velvety tannins and just a hint of bitterness on the finish which adds to the appeal. Such sultry fruit. All red fruits all day. Terrific minerality comes through on the finish. Needs a bit of air. I’ll be back.
Wow now the nose rocks. Honeyed, floral, grassy, herbal, so so good. Smells like a scene in nature. Insane florals. Elegant and sweeter fruit. Still the bitterness is there. — 4 years ago
Enderle
Pinot Noir 2022
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! — 2 months ago

L'ambre Orange Wine Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains 2021
One of daughter Georgie’s natural wines. Very perfumed and aromatic particularly being from the Muscat grape also with skin contact. The palate is very “fruit juicy” with low acid. No point in cellaring any of these. — 3 years ago

Voyage Rotwein Trocken 2021
Mind boggling. On the nose is a high acid white like gruner or riesling. Unripe raspberry and plum, effervescence that dances around, has a slight tannin going down. Light wine but has structure — a year ago

Wacholderberg Weissburgunder 2020
Nose is creamy, opulent and ripe. Background of lean minerals. Nice breadth. Melon and cantelope. So pure. Palate is opulent and ripe with lovely texture and just the right amount of acidity. Very easygoing and delicious. Good concentration and exceptional purity and as it airs out it gets leaner and more acidic. 9.3 for now but can see this going higher. Love how lean and nervy this gets with air. So good. Lime zest and flesh now inflecting on the palate. Zippy, zesty and pure. With air this gains energy and salinity. Amazing intensity. — 3 years ago

Delicate strawberry nose. Some smoke, some gunpowder, mid to early season cherries and very fragrant. Very classic Very 21. Floral. Just an all star nose. 9.5. Very Pinot. Elegant, supple, and tangy. Some serious classic 21 structure little bit closed very fine tannin. really reminds me of an Alto Piemonte wine. it’s on its way to developing some mid palette sweetness and the tannins can sweeten out a bit. I think this has great upside right now. It’s got that typical 21 kind of tightness out of the bottle. but with air, I expect this to sweeten out. It’s maintaining its elegance while also being incredibly juicy. — 9 days ago
