White #Mosel #wine from Germany: 1994 : http://tinyurl.com/3qjhotd
Ellerer Calmont Spätlese from Willi Steffens, Weinbau-Weinversand, D-56814 Eller, Mosel. The appearance: a tinge of brown, quite yellow-green and young-looking though and soft yet with a backbone, sweetish riesling aromatics. The attack is firm yet slightly sweet. Evolution: Juicy mouthfeel, just beginning to taste old, but not much and has aged much better than expected, although this is also sweeter than expected. Peach fur-y skins, esters, pear drops with a finish which is peaches in nose, pear drops on swallow. Sweetness: 2.25. Acidity: 2.5. Tannin: 0 with a texture which is slightly thick, slightly rough water and the length is very good. As for balance, it's beautiful, fabulous, medium-sweet yet with good acidity and backbone. Overall, this wine is a really, really good wine. easy-drinking yet serious, crystal clear, mucky label but no sediment. Soft yet hard, went well with cheese (real sage derby from derby). My score (which is NOT the same as Robert Parker's!) is 95 points.
