2001 Joh. Jos. Christoffel Erben Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Auslese - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (10/25/2017)
Tasted over two evenings, this is finally in the early maturity window where I so love German Riesling. There is still plenty of ripe apple and berry fruit, but it also has a smoky, not quite petrol tome added to the fruit. The youthful sweetness has merged into the whole, so while it is still a “sweet wine” it shows an effortless balance, and does not come across as just sweet. Lovely now, but still likely has 10-15 years (or more) of fine drinking ahead.
