A Few Cases of the Legendary 2015 Enderle & Moll Liason (Pinot Noir) - Germany's Cult Pinot Noir Producer

I just had a wonderful visit with Sven Enderle last week and I saw he had some 2015 Liason lying Today I'm thrilled to offer the Enderle & Moll 2015 Liason for $25.99 on a 4-pack. Please email me for special case prices. 

around. Asked him how much he had left and they had a little, so I reserved a few cases. Reason being is that 16 was a difficult vintage quantity-wise (wines are brilliant despite that) but when one of the single greatest German Pinot Noir value is available and I can sell for $25.99 on a 4-pack I am all over it. 2015 Liason is easily single vineyard quality. Easily. No contest. In 16 they only have a barrel of Ida and then they might have some Buntsandstein or Muschelkalk but not both. So knowing all that I wanted to offer the best '15 value Pinot Noir from Germany of all time.

This email represents one of the most important emails I will ever write at Fass Selections. I'm not exaggerating. When I tasted the 2015 Pinot Noirs out of barrel with Sven Enderle and Florian Moll last year (Florian, regrettably, had to leave early) all I could do was laugh. I was laughing like a madman and my tasting notes were as profane as one can get when in the company of a good friend who also happens to be an utterly brilliant winemaker. You know what I mean. Only great Pinot brings out the potty mouth. When Pinot Noir is this great, all one can do is resort to laughter and vile bathroom humor. Or at least me. The first wine we tasted I thought was either Bundstandstein or Muschelkalk. No it was actually the Basis which I have not sold. I was shocked. I was like "Sven, dude, there is no way this wine can be this good?? I'm a good taster and I thought it was one of the big boys??!? What have you got here in these barrels?" We continued to taste and I could not believe what I was tasting. It was a triumph in the convergence of all that one loves or can love in wine. A winemaker hitting his peak converging with a once in a generation vintage all at a very very fair price. It is not fool's gold.

The 2015s from Enderle and Moll are amongst the finest set of Pinot Noirs I've ever had the privilege of tasting. They are just magic. The Liason is as good a value I will EVER sell.

If you've never had Enderle and Moll buy this wine. It is perhaps the greatest Pinot Noir for the money one can buy currently in the world. I've sold '11, '12, '13, '14 and '15 (now twice) and each one is a triumph, but the '15 is the top of Everest as far as Liason is concerned. It is easily the quality of the single vineyard Muschelkalk/Bundtstandtstein in any other year. It's a crazy wine. In a few years it will be even crazier.

Below is my "rushed note" which I will translate in more evocative terms.

"Huge nose. Cherry, bowl of cherries, ripe as anything can ever be ripe without being overripe, palate is dense, intense and juicy with serious velvety, sexy oh so sweet tannins and earth. Amazing vivid fruit. So intense. This is genius."

That note maybe captures a small part of the wine which is very important of course. Length, fruit, quality of fruit, quality of tannin, freshness which there was an impressive amount of, earthy nuances and the such. But it does not capture the emotional impact that these Pinot Noirs have. It's truly an emotional experience this wine. It is almost hard to comprehend how this can be so filigreed, elegant, beautiful, and of such high quality for so little money. The fact that there is something like this that exists in the world is a wonder in itself. I'm not talking just wine. The 2015 Liason is a take your  breath away wine and life experience. I did not expect these wines to impact me like this. Sven is a genius of the highest degree has his collection of 2015s are his magnum opus. This is semi limited depending on how the list reacts. I have some reserved but act fast. I'm taking a case for myself. I will not give it up as I missed out last time.
