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. — 2 years ago
@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. — 3 years ago
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
Nectar of the gods. Apricot. Honey still fresh. Wow. — 3 years ago
Rich nose which is typical for this wine. Honeyed, also some nougat, spice, herbs, so complex. Smell decadent but also has restraint. Tree bark, lemon pith, lanolin. Super complex. Palate is incisive, rich and pure. But it lacks the energy of the 19 ngl. Good acidity and minerality and tons of dry extract. Delicious but again, the 19 crushes it. — 3 years 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! — 11 days ago
