1996 Martin Müllen Kröver Letterlay Riesling Spätlese halbtrocken, Germany, Mosel, - Wine Review
I opened this to show a friend how well that Rieslings can age. A mostly dry Riesling from 1996 and it was beautiful. Golden in color, slightly deep. The nose is clean with just a bare whiff of petrol. There was grapefruit peel, slight lemon notes and "wet rocks". On the palate, it was rich and tasted dry but perhaps a bit of residual sugar left. Nice round texture but enough acidity to easily cut through it. Long finish. It begs for food and rewards the food nicely.
