....the 2002 JJ Christoffel Erdener
Treppchen Spatlese. Ripe, rich, and ready. Floral note, palate is
quite sweet but loaded with citrus - oranges and a Fresca-like
grapefruit (I like Fresca!). Good acidity, plays well with others (or
with food). 8% abv is a bonus. Just a hint of pertrol coming in. This
isn't very complex or deep, but it is tasty. B+

I've earlier commented on Christoffel that the property has seen a serious
decline in quality after the takeover by Eymael of Mönchhof. It seems that
they are on the way of returning to form, however.
The period of 2002-2004 was a low point, but 2005 and more so 2006 have been
promising a better future. I'll report on the 2007 vintage when that
appears!
