Description

A real salt bomb; long, licorice-y, carraway seeds, seemed drier than it used to be, and shows a serpentine structure. Fibrous and light on its feet. — Terry Theise

Pro Reviews

Wine Spectactor (WS)

WS91

A racy style, with slate notes to the fresh-cut apple and crunchy pear flavors, followed by hints of sea salt. The acidity gives this energy and leads to a finish that reveals hints of passion fruit. Drink now through 2024. 65 cases imported.

Treppchen-typical mint, sassafras, apple and orange immediately call to mind this wine’s 2015 predecessor. Glossy, even subtly oily in feel, yet delicate, it finishes with lusciously juicy, herbally cooling and soothing persistence, adeptly supported by analytically high but well-integrated sweetness. An impression of advanced ripeness such as I would more usually associate with Auslese is reinforced by hints of quince jelly, while suggestions of fresh pineapple introduce welcome tang and complementary brightness to a superbly sustained finish.
