Luci & Deare Kröver Paradies Trocken Spätlese*** Mosel Riesling

Huge deeply fruited nose of mandarin orange, spice, cardamon, dried citrus rind (grapefruit) and lovely confectionary aromas with a deep, feral quality. Palate is ripe and concentrated with piquant acidity and so much saline and slate character. Terrific structure and depth. Long citrus induced finish. Outrageous.

Stunning nose. Huge apricot and peach. Love the fruit driven aspect of the aromas here. But beyond that is the most unreal and clean minerals. Pear juice as well. So inviting. Some honey and cantelope as well. A very well rounded nose. Palate is gorgeous. So elegant, round and ripe. Amazingly clean. Love these 12.5% trockens! Juicy as juicy can be and nice, serene and caressing acidity. Great depth and concentration but oh so nimble, sappy and pure. Lovely finish that has all the apricot and sweet peaches one desires. Stunning wine. So balanced and perfect. Amazing complexity and so accessible. As Paradies always is. Mineral drive of a finish with lovely piquant citrus and amazing, engaging fruit. So good.

As this airs the minerality and structure come out more. As does the finesse. What a finish. The density yet how nimble. So pure.
