Tasting notes
In spite of the enormous concentration of dried yellow fruit flavors, this has a gracefulness and a great vitality that make it breathtaking. A spectacular Auslese to drink now, but it also has enormous aging potential. This will live longer than I will!

The 2015 Riesling Erdener Treppchen Auslese *** (White Capsule) opens super clear, deep and intense on the impressively aromatic and still somewhat yeasty nose. Very clear, rich and concentrated on the palate, this Riesling cru is too multidimensional to appreciate today. It is an abstract artwork with great elegance and finesse, superb length and powerful as well as a salty finish with grip, structure and everything you might want to add into a great wine. However, the complex everything has to come down, and it surely will—in 10 or 20 years.
