Rich and unctuous, the Meulenhof Mosel Erdener Treppchen Riesling Spätlelese Alte Reben 2012 is ripe, juicy apricot, golden Opal apple and paraffin, a twinkling top note of kerosene. Soft and silky on entry, with a medium level of acidity that leans towards bright citrus fruit, candied lemon peel and dried pineapple. I found my self looking for only just a little more acidity and mineral verve, that being said, the finish is reasonably lengthy. Overall, a delightful Spätlelese. 8.0% ABV — 11 years ago

Today was the day that I finally "got" single grain. Thanks Driscoll- I didn't need another bad habit! Near rum sweetness, rye like wildness and single malt complexity. — 11 years ago

This has an amazing nose that is a strange mix of rather sharp furniture polish and the taste that you get when mixing up a couple of different flavour opal fruits (star bursts to you youts) incredibly pronounced, sharp tropical fruits (and nail polish), skittles and strawberry concentrate.
Palate is less expressive but has some wonderful green apple skin, quince, good length, very lovely stuff. — 11 years ago
