WINE ENTHUSIAST - 90 POINTS
Intense, both with its acidity and its fruit, displaying a mix of glazed apricot, Korean pear, quince paste and honey. It is juicy and crunchy, and with the right food, you can enjoy it immediately, but even if you wait several years, this will keep its focus.
******
The Spatlese Mosel Slate is a fully fruity-styled wine made from the Estate’s holdings in the Erdener Treppchen. A hint of smoky reduction gives quickly way to riper notes of quince, candied grapefruit, herbs, ripe apple and pear puree. The wine is pleasantly playful on the palate, where some nicely ripe yellow fruits mingle with fine acidity, thereby nicely balancing out the sweetness of this fully fruity Spatlese. This is already a joy to drink now but will gain in finesse in a few years’ time.
