2016 Erdener Treppchen Spatlese WK

Lime and green apple make for less site-specific aromas and flavors than revealed by the corresponding Kabinett. But suggestions of crushed stone suffusion and mineral salts add interest and saliva-inducement to a lingering finish. Perhaps greater clarity and complexity will come with a couple of years in bottle. (Or perhaps the wine was having a relatively inexpressive day on the sole occasion when I tasted it. Molitor’s is one of the few addresses where one worries if a wine seems to merit “only 90 points”!)
