Martin Müllen
Kröver Steffensberg Spätlese** Feinherb Mosel Riesling
Mosel, Germany
This is so good and so young with ridiculous acidity. It’s too cold so the nose is very quiet. But wow what a palate. Insane acidity and huge dry fruit extract. Unreal density and concentration but so nimble. Apricot and citrus fruits galore and a minutes long finish. 9.6 with no aromas and barely any air. Let’s see where this goes. Nose now is all citrus jelly baby and lime flesh with other exotic citrus. Crazy complex. Palate is so juicy and so elegant. Amazing density. 9.6 to 9.7. So sapid with so much energy. Wow!

Sep 16th, 2024Awesome wine. Dynamite showing. Huge expressive nose of orange rind, wet stone, citrusy jelly, apricot, so perfumed. Amazing. Palate is super complex and so refined with huge mineral intensity and such length to the citrus apricot fruit. So tangy and salty on the finish. Wow.

Is there any Martin Mullen wine that isn’t superb? Nose has sponti/yeasty funkiness, great minerality, and fragrant apple/lime/peach scents. So complex. All sorts of flavors in the mouth too. Nice acids. Lingering fruit and slightly bitter minerality on the long finish. Feinherb is usually not my favorite style but this rocks.
UPDATE: my wife, who is not a Riesling fan, took a sniff and said, “It smells like a can of tuna.” I re-sniffed and said, “Nope.” I guess wine will always be subjective.

So fun and captivating. Nose has crisp, ripe peach/apricot, deep slatey minerality, honey, and a little biological funk like a rock plucked from the eddy of a stream. Mouthwatering acidity encases a slightly drier palate than I expected. Very minerality and long. Damn I love Riesling!

Aug 1st, 2017More notes later. Superb. With spicy Hunan. Perfect.
Day 2 detailed notes - huge perfumed nose. Also citrus and almost jellied fruits, slate and peach. Also spice and an umami element. So aromatically deep. Palate is crisp and so balanced with lovely fleshy peachy fruit. Long and juicy. Wonderful.

Mineral, peach, what acid, complexity, super mineral, ripe and so juicy. Showing young. But so much potential. Huge dry extract.

2014 vintage. Lots of extract and body on this Riesling. Quince, dried mango, apricot leather, dried yellow flowers, white rocks, poached pear, baked yellow apple, diesel. Very good, denser-styled Riesling from the Mosel. Purchased from Fass Selections.
