Recommendations
and hype are OK...they tempt and please...but at the end of the
day...it is down to you.
I am still making up my mind about the two wines below...bought after the forums on the net were full of them.
They need time...that is clear...and I find them hard work at the moment.

Pinot
Noir should be sexy...but these two are spotty teenagers...needing my
patience and a few years to show their beautiful side.
Both
opened 4 hours in advance...
Enderle
and Moll Pinor Noir Muschelkalk 2009

I
thought Bordeaux on sniffing...wild and earthy with a few
swirls...not your everyday sexy grape. Iron came to mind...and
blackcurrant...hence the Bordeaux feel. Taut tannins still...as I
said...hard work.
Points 16.75

Enderle and Moll Pinor Noir Bundsandstein 2009
Baden, Germany
Damp forest smells...which opened with more airing...herbs and gentle toasting. Fruit is hidden behind the tannins... and again...hard work.

Now...I
know my wines...after 40 years of tasting and gulping...I should do.
I hope these turn out well...enough experts are rating them...but they are not sexy at this time. Maybe I am comparing them to another style...see Metzger Pinot Noir below...and I am willing to be convinced...time will tell...and I have a few bottles.

P.S.
Bought a bottle of each of the 2012 vintages...still listening to the hype.
