WTN: '09 Meulenhof Riesling Spatlese Alte Reben

2009 Meulenhof Erdener Treppchen Riesling Spätlese Alte Reben
Delicious. It verges on the lush tropical, but has enough acidity and brightness to restrain the richness and then pick up a more citrus focused aspect in the finish. Typically big for spatlese (what isn't these days), it went very well with a slightly spicy red curry. Excellent value as usual for Meulenhof. Drink now or for a long, long time.

Thanks for the note, David.
It seems like the lovely, lush fruit still is not closing down in the Mosel '09s.
Cheers,
Anders

They may be closing down a bit. This was much more open and expressive on night two when we had the last glass.

Meulenhof's 2009s are so, so good. Glad I went long on this and the Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese.

Luckily Stefan Justen still makes wine!
