The 2004 Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese offers heady, Chartreuse-like aromatics and a palate that is undeniably rich and intense, full of bright citrus, but on balance, as yet, exceedingly, almost overridingly sweet. The finish is formidably intense but without (at least for now) the charm or nuance of the better wines.
