Trarbacher Hühnerberg Spätlese* trocken Riesling
Mosel, Germany
A procession of flirtatious, wafting white flower, ripe citrus, white peach and citrus blossom aromas. Really intriguing and dynamic riesling.

Nov 25th, 2023This is reminding me of another dimension of what dry Riesling can be. It’s a beast; wafting with complex apricot, pome and tropical sour fruit notes, clove, spice, smoke, and a mineral and floral suite. In the mouth it’s viscous, dry, with a ton of dry extract and powdered granite. Mouth tingling minerality and sour candy finish. Hefty. Wall of flavor and hardly needs to be chilled. Very impressive.
Has integrated beautifully overnight. Though I wouldn’t begrudge it a little more acid, the power now presents elegantly and the mineral spice has mellowed nicely. 9.5 now.
