This - drink now wine was really not made for aging - !!!! was lost in my cellar. I have no system whatsoever and like surprises. Lots of acidity. Faint kerosine notes like in an aged Riesling. Lemon curd. Meyer lemon. Crushed partially oxidized apple pulp. After 1 hour and reaching RT profound apricot flavors and a touch bitter. A great wine for an at the time a ridiculous low price. I think this is not made any more. — 8 days ago
No formal notes. But world class - really. See previous notes on this vintage. — 18 days ago
Slight brown tinge. Very light in color. See picture. Between the 16’ and the 18‘ this is the lesser vintage. Plenty of acidity and tannins left. Seems tight and austere upon opening. Lime, cranberry and some red currant. Would drink this with asian food. Give it 1 hour of air. — 4 days ago
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. — 13 days ago
I just reviewed the related 2014. Man this related 2015 Ida is so different. Dark and angry for 30 min. …soon more. This needs to uncurl for 2 hours! Will last 10 more years or more. Days later. Cherries, lime and Peach. I would suggest to put this away and retry in 5 years!!!!! This is too young. — 13 days ago
A little VA which blows off. Then a cherry freak show which calms down. Dark and morello cherries. Chalky. 13.5%. Quite rich and a little atypical for E&M. Needs more time to resolve fruit (3-5 years). — 5 days ago
This vintage is one of my favorites. Brown tinge otherwise super light in color. Like a Vosné with a touch of herbs. Simply beautiful. Hint cherry, underbrush, lime and a hint of thyme. Addictive ! — 6 days ago
Quite lemony. Plenty of acid. Easy drinking everyday white. Not particularly deep. Definitely food friendly. — 13 days ago
Nice but compared to Vosne of the night more NSG like and could not compete at that level. — 18 days ago

After Mr. L. F. scarred the shit out of me on the 17‘ Enderle & Moll‘s. I took a look at the Basis wine. And guess what it’s pretty good! Rosé like color. Orange zest on the nose. Tons of acid so some folks might take a step back. Then morello cherries and back palate herbs. Touch band aid. Could run for another 3-5 years. Not one of their top efforts but not bad either. Needs tons of air. — 2 days ago
