"The “Liaison” is something like Enderle & Moll’s “1er Cru” bottling, from vines 50 years old and older (what a country due west might call Vieilles-Vignes) planted on the two predominant soil types down here in Baden: colored sandstone and shell limestone. A “Liaison” of soil types if you will. It is always one of the most compelling Pinots out there, an absurd value that easily out-classes wines that are twice the price. Ruby and vibrant in the glass – this is unmistakably PURE Pinot. On the palate the wine is very fine and delineated, deeply soil driven. The tannins are woven and very much in focus, fruit is more purple and blue than that of Basis’s pure red and the wine just so obviously overdelivers it is more than a touch absurd."- Importer
