Rheingau, Germany
Enderle & Moll
Müller 2015
A cold, rainy day in the Berkshires today, several degrees cooler and we'd be getting snow instead. I'm not ready, still yardwork to get done this season!
A head-to-head matchup today, '15 vs. '16 E&M 'Müller' Müller-Thurgau. This '15 is our last bottle, so this is the final evolution check. 😕
No evidence of dissolved gas (CO2 or N2) in this bottle like the '16 showed, but it got a decant anyways. Gold-yellow in color, distinctly different from the '16 today.
Nose has smoked honey, almonds, tropical fruit skins, extra ripe mango and light aroma of crushed minerals.
Palate has gotten crazy complex, honey, stone fruits, pineapple core, tangerine, lemon pith and mashed tropical fruit. Evolving more with each sip, finish is picking up a nice apricot note.
Wow what a difference the extra year makes. Likely we're hiding the remainder of our '16 away for maybe a year or two, hopeful on a similar evolution. — 7 years ago

Oberhäuser Brücke Spätlese Riesling 2015
Wowow. Powerful yellow florals. Perfume, gasoline. Aromas really lifting from the glass. Golden raisin, just-cut straw, salted light caramel, dried peach, melon, lemon, citrus zest. Brilliant, electric palate. Perfect RS/acid balance. Concentrated, really luxurious texture, almost opulent. Singing. — 4 years ago
