2015 Enderle & Moll Pinot Noir LiaisonBaden more |
9/3/2017 - burgdeaux wrote: 86 pointsPleasant but basic Pinot. Classic pale ruby color, very slightly cloudy. Quickish legs suggested lower alcohol (label says 12.5%). Quiet nose - cranberries, toast and herbs. The palate was dominated by some lively acidity which overwhelmed the gentler tannins. Red fruit - cranberries, but little else. Nothing complex here. |

1/19/2014 - agnorger Does not like this wine: 80 pointsthis did not age well. the fruit is stewed..almost vinegar at this point. it was stored in perfect conditions. I opened the 2004 and it was much better.

9/8/2015 - wculpepper wrote: flawedDouble decanted; moderate sediment. First pour one hour later. A hint of browning at the edges of a medium ruby color. Flowery nose of dark fruit and tobacco. Medium bodied with more coffee and bell pepper on the palate than fruit. Ample acids and a long finish with smooth tannins. However, I'd enjoy this far more with more fruit on the palate, and if all the parts seemed to fit together better. Overall, this wine is not for me. But I'll taste agaian tomorrow and see if anything better develops.

2005 Château de Pibarnon BandolMourvèdre Blend, Mourvèdre more |
8/15/2016 - Capt Cutlass Does not like this wine: 86 pointsOrange/brown rim. Prunes and dark plums on the nose. Again prunes on the palate, resolved tannins, smooth. Prune eau de vie indicates more than the 13.50% alcohol advertised on the label - there is alcohol burn on the back of the mouth. Serve colder than you would normally due to the spiky alcohol. This is a bit cooked in style. Mid palate lacks body. I agree with other tasters that this is disappointing and seems to be on the decline - I have had much better Bandol from smaller, less well know producers such as Lafran-Veyrolles.

7/18/2017 - ledocq wrote: NRVery odd. We knew enough to let it breathe a while, an hour or so, in part because the nose was so extreme. "Extremely what?" you might ask. Girlfriend took a while to identify it. Once, she lived over a meth lab. And the lab caught fire. That's what it smelled like. Taste was totally cryptic to me (not to her -- she spat it out). It went from a raw alcohol to something quite pleasant (brine, saline, minerals, the kind of thing you might expect) to more of a bold fruity -- nope, that went away again. Only, the taste -- unpleasant as it was -- lasted a good long time. Put the bottle away. Resolved a bit on day two though the burning meth lab smell (and taste) was still there for my co-taster. Day three? Undrinkable. Flawed? Probably.

4/30/2019 - mchrist Does not like this wine: NRThis wine is really bad. It's not as terrible as its cousin, the Clos du Bourg, but it's just not good. Huet missed the mark in a meaningful way in 2012 and I question the merit of laying these down for long term or buying at all going forward. Avoid or drink now.

3/9/2014 - mukden wrote: 87 pointsNO. Very disappointing, give the price. One bottle was flawed and the other was not good. Harsh tannins, low fruit and a nose that seemed vert a/c hot. I don't think this is a timing issue. I think it is just not a good wine.

2010 Château Pradeaux BandolMourvèdre Blend, Mourvèdre more |
3/23/2020 - dream Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis is just an extraordinary wine considering the price. Obviously a fantastic vintage, this thickly-textured yet light-on-its feet wine is full-bodied with rich flavors of blackberry fruit, tobacco and garrigue spices. Ethereal and silky-fine with excellent grip on the finish sporting firm dusty tannins and superb complexity with notes of coal dust and Mediterranean warmth and salinity. Perfect now but this will still go a long way. Brilliant Mourvedre for $35.

3/24/2021 - Professional-wined-up-merchant Likes this wine: 92 pointsThe ripe fruit and subtle well integrated oak are in perfect harmony all backed up by fresh acidity. Touch of saline, fresh nuts and citrus on the finish. Not sure whether it's worth risking any further ageing - I'm sure it's capable!

7/25/2021 - anstruletz Likes this wine: NRThis bottle has shut down a bit, but there is a juicy red fruit that comes forward after an hour (not sure if I find it too modern - maybe some more time in the bottle). Still, very good.

12/6/2017 6:52:00 PM - I would politely disagree, despite agreeing with some of your notes (legs, tannins). I think the nose is quite complex and the finish long and agreeable. I would also comment that my bottle was clear ruby red. No clouds. I really enjoy these bottles, but am interested in other opinions. Thx for posting.
