Martin Müller
Trarbacher Hühnerberg Trocken Spätlese Mosel Riesling
Mosel, Germany
Huge and expansive nose. Ripe apricot and peach and very confectionary. Grapefruit, citrus, tangerine, tangelo and so much more. An amalgam of stunning fruit on a mineral background. Hugely expressive minerality and just a stunningly mineral nose. Smells like a rock quarry. Awesome. The nose is so deep. Kaleidoscopic and fractal like. Palate is young and tangy with enormous structure but it’s delicate and a little bit hidden. Not that integrated at all but all the parts are there. Incredible fruit sapidity on the finish. Huge mineral/citrus inner mouth aromas. Juicy and mineral but man is this backwards. The finish is super long and the wine is crazy concentrated but massively backwards. I’ll be back.

Note: 9.5 in pop and pour. But a beautiful 9.5. An hour it evolves into a “better” wine.
One star.
Nose: elegantly tropical. Floral. Powdered minerals. Great finesse. Elegant.
Palate: mineral. Delicious. Sprightly minerals.
So well made. So so so well made. A perfect wine for what it is.

An hour in more depth. Burgundian? More round. Palate cling.
