3.90 / 5.0·750 ml·@Wix Kyiv Office · Opaque Tasting Vol. 2

A base-level Pinot Noir from a consistent producer. It has a charming and not overly complex bouquet of red berries, underbrush, flowers, blood and fermentation notes. It's elegant and fresh thanks to slightly elevated acidity.

3.90 / 5.0·750 ml·@101 Bar

Well-made classical Pinot Noir with relative funkiness. Raspberry, sour cherry, underbrush, flowers, blood and subtle fermentation hints. Elegant, not simple, medium-bodied with good slightly elevated acidity. Great value.

Enderle&Moll

Small German winery from Baden founded in 2006 by two wine college graduates Sven Enderle and Florian Moll. They were fortunate enough to get their hands on some pretty old plots of Pinot Noir sites (planted in 1953). They follow a philosophy of Low Intervention and Sustainable Vineyard Management.

Enderle and Moll are considered to be a cult even by Jancis Robinson. Some consider them the best Pinot Noir producers in Germany. I lack qualification and experience to support this claim, so I am going to challenge it through tasting.
