The 2023er Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese was made with overripe fruit affected by botrytis (15%) harvested at 118° Oechsle and was fermented down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar (120 g/l). It offers a quite aromatic and very attractive nose of greengage, verbena, spearmint, smoke, aniseed, and lavender. The wine is initially animating on the palate yet gains in richness and broadness as it unfolds. It proves comparatively powerful and intense in the very long and focused finish. There is a hint of tartness in need of integration, and it could well prove even better than anticipated if it gains finesse with aging. 2033-2048+
