  • 1995 Martin Müllen Kröver Paradies Riesling Auslese trocken - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (11/27/2014)
    Chilled for about 1 hour prior to serving. Pours a pale waxy yellow. On the nose it’s full of limes and grapefruit, overlain by petrol, and supporting aromas of wet rock and apricot. I love the aromatics. The palate though, is truly marvelous. Excellent depth and concentration, excellent acidity. Citrus and stone fruits at first, overlain again by petrol, but finishing with this briney, saline-like minerality that made my mouth water. I loved the cut of the acidity across the ripe fruit, it really cleaned up the mid palate and kept me enjoying the food. Very much a “food wine”, this seems to be at peak but will last for another couple of decades.

We uncorked one the night before Thanksgiving and I was the only person who loved the wine, which I really did.

I think I was the only one that really loved this, but that could be because I do like Lyle and trust his palate, so there was a confirmation bias at play. Everyone else liked it or thought it was fine, but not as groovy as I did.

I had a big German Riesling lover taste this and his succinct criticism “it is too dry” just cracked me up. He likes more sugar in his Riesling.

I tried and tried to love German riesling before discovering trockens. Now I love German trocken riesling.
