Schmitges’ 2004 Erdener Treppchen Riesling Spatlese Fass #4, A.P. #13 bears the cask number “4" prominently on the label, otherwise I would not mention it. Smelling of site-typical sassafras and tangerine, this Spatlese uncannily allies on the palate clarity and freshness of fruit with creaminess of texture.
