Riesling Erdener Treppchen Spatlese 2017

- 92 points -

The 2017er Erdener Treppchen Spätlese is made from fruit harvested at 90° Oechsle in the prime Busslay sector of the vineyard. This is still quite reductive at first and only gradually reveals some superbly complex scents of yellow peach, mirabelle, a hint of apricot, earthy spices and smoke. The wine proves intense and concentrated on the palate, where the initial touch of sweetness adds to the smoothness and delicacy of the structure. The finish is nicely long and complex. This rich expression of a Spätlese only needs a decade to fully blossom.
