Kröver Paradies Trocken Spätlese*** Mosel Riesling
Mosel, Germany
Sublime wine that will live forever. Attenuated nose of pear/candied fruit (stollen?) Wife says sauternes. Palate is massive! Great richness & depth. Creamy petrol, fruitcake, orange peel, bitter almond, lemon oil, buttressing acidity. Lingering finish. Brilliant stuff @Lyle Fass

@Delectable Wine this is the *** (3 star). Thanks. Very very evocative nose. More spacious than the **. Huge citrus, lanolin and bouillon. More vivid citrus and complex other citrus. Pink grapefruit, tangerine, confectionary sugar and sick slate. Honey, a bit of quince, honeysuckle, kiwi, so complex. What a nose. Sick! Palate is round, yet so dense and spicey with enormous extract and almost a sweet tart intensity to it. So deep and juicy and also a bit closed. Long and linear with great energy and flavor hierarchy. So long. So serene. What a wine. Wow. So so intense and has at least 25 years ahead of. So concentrated. I will track these over 3 days.
After 7 hours nose is incredibly perfumed. Awesome palate. Elegant, structured and concentrated. And so so long. Unreal bitter fruits.

Mineral. Floral. White flowers. Almost a kiss of honey.
Palate : infused mountain stream. Stone fruits. Delicious. Mineral. Wow. Amazing texture. Hint of white grapefruit. As this opens - so elegantly rich. Amazing.
Finish lingers on the lips in an elegant way.

This review is for the ***. Good but not extraordinary dry Riesling. Straightforward and well-made but without any complexity that might be expected from a ***. Perhaps it needs more time. At $36 a good value.

Jul 3rd, 2022Nose is faint. As it opens grapefruit flower.
Palate is very mineral. Grapefruit. A tad bitter for me. Laser like acidity.
As this opens some more candied grapefruit. Less overtly bitter. You get better density too.
Long grapefruit finish.
