Erdener Treppchen Auslese Riesling
Delicious stuff! Acid framed a lovely core of bright orchard and citrus notes. Seems to be at about peak.

Dec 2nd, 2018Mosel to a T. Ripe, vibrant lemon. Pungent petrol. Clean auslese mouthfeel countered by frame of acid. Chiseled slate. Softened honey after settling. Sitting in a great tertiary spot now, but acid tells me this has years ahead of it, even if I don't think it'll get better. Thanks @Jason Pesaro.

May 12th, 2016Properly old with predominant tertiary aromas of petrol, wood polish/resin and a vaguely golden fruit quality. Stood up well to a spicy veg stew, probably die to low alc, 9.5%.

Jul 25th, 2014Med deep golden yellow. Mature nose of petrol and golden fruits. Elegant mouthfeel with noticeable acidity rather than sweetness and a slight bitter edge on the finish.

Aug 15th, 2013Just a touch of rubber with intention. Subtle beeswax and Orange tropical fruit. Simply irresistible? Perhaps.

Oct 31st, 2015Lots of residual and excellent flavor. We were gulping this during our spicy thai meal. Not a ton of acidity or mid palate came through for me.
