Amber gold. Stunning aroma of candied tropical fruits. Driven by fruit and concentration rather than the modest acidity. Not at all the style of a lean Mosel Riesling. Tremendous density. Excellent length.

Let's get it straight: With a 2007 Riesling from the Trarbacher Hühnerberg, Martin Müllen has probably produced one of the best Spätlesen of the early 21st century. This will come as no surprise to insiders, as Müllen is one of a handful of Mosel winemakers who can be trusted with a stroke of genius like this at any time. In the glass, the wine presents itself in a bright straw yellow, the bouquet appears more complex than a tenfold integral and features scents of flint and highly ripe apricot. What happens on the tongue can hardly be described in words. It seems as if every taste bud in the mouth is attacked several times: by the finest fruit aromas, a play of acidity that cannot be surpassed in finesse, perfectly balanced sweetness and impressions that are often described in tasting notes as mineral slate notes. Terms like “most elegant” , “richest in finesse” , “most profound”, “most complex” , “infinitely long” fill my notepad in the absence of a suitable vocabulary and the possibility of a linguistic increase of the superlative. A late harvest can't be any better. Only different.

Strong green gold. Fine, complex scent of jelly banana, milk chocolate as well as peach and mirabelle jam. Invigorating, not too luxuriant sweetness, juicy fruitiness, moderate acidity. With astonishing freshness in view of the age of now a good 15 years. Excellent length.

Pale yellow with white-golden reflections. Very fine Riesling aroma with delicate fruity hints of peach and mango. Lightweight and elegant on the tongue, yet with good persistence on the palate. Reasonable sweetness. Restrained acidity, but noticeable minerality. Very long. Fine spicy finish.

🯅	The rating of the wine is based on a single taster. The taster is named in the context of the rating. The tasting was either open or blind. In case of a blind tasting, it is explicitly labelled as such.
🯅🯅	The rating of the wine is based on two tasters. The tasters are named in the context of the rating. The tasting was carried out according to the four-eyes principle, in which both tasters agree on a joint rating.
🯅🯅🯅	The rating is based on a tasting by our jury and indicates the Mean value calculated by us from the individual ratings of the tasters. Our mean value is based on the median.
⚖	The wine was evaluated in a blind tasting. We have strict rules for blind tastings. The tasters do not receive any information that would allow them to identify the wines. The tasters are only given access to further information that goes beyond the subject matter if it is absolutely necessary for understanding the wines.
🕓	We only had limited time to taste the wine - typically during an open tasting event, such as a wine fair. It was therefore not possible to observe the development of the wine in the glass over a longer period of time. The informative value of our rating may therefore be limited under certain circumstances.
⛬	The wine was tasted as a barrel sample or before an official test number (Amtliche Prüfungsnummer or Staatliche Prüfnummer) was issued. We only accept samples of unfilled wines in exceptional cases, and then only if we can assume sufficient stability in the bottle for a period of at least three months.
▲	During our tasting, the wine showed conspicuous sensory characteristics. This does not necessarily have to be a wine fault. We categorise the quality and quantity of the abnormality and include it in the rating. Wine faults such as cork taint or an atypical ageing generally lead to a complete rejection.
	Tastings that refer to the same bottle of a wine are visually summarised by a dotted line.
