Tropical and citrus aromas, a rounder body and more subtle acid than expected from a Sauv Blanc, and rich tropical fruitiness. — 3 years ago

At a beautiful spot. Nice golden color, fragrant minerals laced nose and tingling texture into long finish. Went nicely with variety of Indian dishes from Rasa for Leila’s one day early dinner with Cindy David. — 4 years ago
My first time trying a Grosses Gewächs from the Mosel is this 2019 Erdener Treppchen from very old, ungrafted vines in the tender care of Ernst Loosen.
I popped ‘n poured this wine on the first night, which you should never do with young Riesling. Thus, it was very reserved on opening, but by the second day it’s a moderately pungent affair with bags of Mosel character. Obvious notes are fresh lime, crisp apple and wet slate, as well as lemongrass and petrichor. The palate is full-bodied, with generous flavours of zesty lime and ripe, crisp apple, even some raspberry, and such is the concentration of fruit and this wines aromatic profile, there’s a slight perception of an off-dry character which only adds complexity. The supercharged acidity contributes to a lasting finish.
This powerful, utterly gorgeous wine from the warm, successful 2019 vintage in the Mosel is in an embryonic stage of its development and will age superbly. — 3 years ago

Thinking pink as summer temps continue into October...
Strawberries and minerals on the nose and palate, more mild acidity compared to prior years. I'm loving this vintage!! — 6 days ago
