Description
David Schildknecht: Loosen's 2008 Erdener Treppchen Riesling
Spatlese hasn't the impressive sheer delicacy of some other wines
in its company, and whereas the corresponding Kabinett was
especially striking for its lack of perceived sweetness, this
Treppchen is the sweetest-tasting of any of this year's Loosen
Spatlesen. While it lacks the deep-seated richness of the
corresponding Wehlener or uncanny balance of the Urziger, it is
nonetheless pure, lusciously citric and melony, suffused with
high-toned herbal essences, and finishes with satisfying spice and
hints of site-typical smokiness. It no doubt needs longer to emerge
out from under its residual sugar than do its nearest siblings and
should perform well for 15 or more years.
