WTN: Monster Auslese

by David M. Bueker » Sun Jun 25, 2017 11:00 am

2011 Meulenhof Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese Alte Reben - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (6/24/2017)
Starting to shed some of its fat, but this is still a very big wine. Rich tropical fruit and a bit of Mosel-typical apple/citrus to liven it up, have backed off just enough to start showing a bit of the acid in the background. This freshens up the wine a little, but it's still mostly just big Auslese that needs lots more age or (in this case) spicy food to balance it out. Patience required.
