Tasting note
Aromas of apricot, ripe peach and citrus peel should lead this 2004 Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese, with a honeyed note beside the fruit. The palate is expected to feel ample and satiny, its sweetness met by brisk Riesling acidity and a stony impression that keeps each sip lively. Its peak years run from 2009 to 2043, while the broader drinking span reaches 2054. Expect a long finish that shifts from yellow fruit toward lemon and gentle mineral tones.
