Perfect. Just perfect. Even young! Nose has fresh and baked apple. Huge mineral. Smells like spring. Hint of mint. Loads of slate. So delicate and layered. Just perfect. Such a racy palate. So clean and crisp. Juicy and opulent but with so much acidity and finesse. Truly profound. So long. So delicate. Truly fine. Needed this. — 3 hours ago

Way too young to drink. Superb white flowers, lemon/lime, and hint of orange on the nose. Palate is not super sweet, more towards the mineral side. Has the signature feather-like sweetness but less so compared to the 06 ws goldkapsel JJ Prums. Acidity is not very pronounced, but well balanced. I know this producer can do better. The rating is only to position it among its peers. Still a great dessert Riesling, in general. — 2 months ago

Number 14. Really seems ageless. Still quite sweet, gold color, apple cider and pear. Will certainly live longer than the cork (which is also in good condition) — 2 days ago

Not the 1*. 03. In a great place right now. Will age well for at least another decade. Despite the heat of the vintage, the wine has terrific balance, acidity, and bounce. Great nose. — 17 days ago

9.3

White peach and mango are wreathed in heliotrope and honeysuckle, accompanied by a hazy hint of yeastiness and fermentative “stink” familiar from youthful wines at this address. The midpalate impression frees itself entirely from any haziness, delivering floral profusion and a luscious abundance of fruit utterly transparent to stony, smoky and mouthwateringly marine nuances. “It seems to be a particularly good year for Zeltinger,” observed Katharina Prüm, noting that this particular wine made significant qualitative strides in its first nine months. I can’t wait to witness what lies in store that many years or more down the pike! (David Schildknecht, Vinous, January 2020) — 2 months ago
