Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese Riesling 2017

Pop and pour. Nice evolution from last btl. On the nose: honey, stone, melon. On the palate: acidity seems softer than I remember, but still pretty good. Soft pineapple, guava, honey, a touch thinner than expected, but quibbles. A lovely drop. — 25 days ago

Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Kabinett Fuder 6 Riesling 2018

Pours more yellow than previous MM Kabinet Rieslings I've tried. Truly golden like a California Chardonnay!
Nose is luscious yet delicate. No petrol/diesel notes at all on this one. Clean, sensual, you want to make out with it not drink it!
The nose leads into the mouth - again sensual, supple, luscious texture.
Strong myer lemon acid zing on the finish and it stays there for a good long distance.
I consider it a must pair wine (Schweinshöchen anyone?). Not the reisling for drinking with girlfriends/boyfriends/no friends on a Saturday night.

Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese** Mosel Riesling 2020

9.7

White Cap. Stunning. Magic. Nose of slate, lime zest, lime blossom, herbs and just so airy and expansive. A 9.7 nose. Zeltinger Sonnenuhr sweet tart. Palate is expansive and incisive with terrific lime and apple fruit and sweetness from the ripe fruit but not the RS which seems like 3-5 grams p/l. So juicy and invigorating. A brilliant wine. I love love Molitor so much. — 4 months ago

Haus Klosterburg Pinot Noir Rosé 2021

My first German 🌹 and from a produce of great Riesling.
The color is not very appealing - gold/yellow hues. I smell rose hips, tangerine, red grapefruit/pith.
Nice weight and texture for a rose, I tried it at 19c and the acids over dominated, now after being open a few hours and chilled to 9c I can enjoy texture, flavor and then acid and a slight effervescence.
The citrus notes carry through to the tongue, softened with honey. It's a good balance. Unlike other old world or new world rosé- something about it reminds me of Grüner veltlinnger, maybe the medium length herbal finish.
The longer the bottle is open the more it is showing and going on me- which is a trait I found of Markus Molitor riesling as well.

Saarburger Rausch Auslese Riesling*** 2018

Pungent. Floral. Apricot and apricot pit. Cream soda. Sweetness is so balanced by acid but also phenolic notes and orange bitters. Drinks like a GG, there’s a real mineral tension. Some so2 at this point. Needs a whole lot of time. — 4 months ago

This is the feinherb/grünkapsel, yes?
Wonderful stuff.

Ürziger Würzgarten Kabinett Mosel Riesling 2016

Vintage 2016 | Honey. Minerals. A nice tension between sweet and acids. Discussion among tasters, should a kabinett age or do we want to enjoy it young. I tend to the opinion of @Berry Marinussen: put it the first ten years away 😉 — 5 months ago
