2005 Erdener Treppchen Spatlese

Loosen’s 2005 Erdener Treppchen Riesling Spatlese smells of sassafras, tangerine, and vanilla. It comes onto the palate creamy in texture, yet refreshingly juicy as well. The finish is long and refreshing, with the wine’s sweetness perfectly supporting the citrus and vanilla flavors and with underlying smoky slate manifestations that perfectly harmonize with the lightly pungent sassafras, allspice, and herbal candy notes. This should easily enjoy two decade’s worth of positive evolution. Importer: Loosen Brothers, Portland, OR; tel. (510) 864-7255
