Medium yellow with a tropical nose. Great acidity with the pronounced flavor of passion fruit. There's a slight bit of spritz on the concentrated palate. The acidity brings the wine slightly out of balance but this is still delicious and finishes long.

Honied and rich with slatey minerals. Great freshness and hints of candy. Medium-bodied but feels a bit richer. Great focused and concentrated sweet citrus flavors with grapefruit nuances. Bright acidity. A super lively Auslese with laser focus. (**)

Dried herbs set the tone which meld with rich hardened honey comb aromas; nice and rich, but balanced with great intensity; long finish. Red slate soils; this is very good.

(Merkelbach Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese) ($24.00) A delirium of spice here! Peppermint and kiwi and scorched slate, a surmise of strawberry beneath an iridescent avalanche of spice and mint and slate.

Very pleasant dessert wine; not as sugary as many auslese - positive in my book - excellent fruit balance with pear overtones

Classic Riesling character in a very fresh package. Nicely tart. Fresh and vibrant enough that its not even clearly Auslese. Very good.
