Markus Molitor
Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese*** Mosel Riesling
Mosel, Germany
Wow. Insane. Apricot and apricot blossom, golden raisin, touch of ginger, a bit of chili powder. Tremendous acid balance. Textured and voluptuous. Bright and sensuous with a tannic prickle. Close to perfection.

Unreal nose. Lime zest and flesh along with sick slate. Such well defined slate. Some ripe apricot and other fruits that veer towards just tropical. Such a sense of refinement. Airy, salty and slatey. Wow. So ethereal. Nothing like this. Unreal peach. Sickness. Nose is a 9.9. Zowie Batman complexity. So much energy on the palate. Wow. Insane acids and grip and that extra feinherb dosage adds such a textural relevance. But man is this fine and so structured. Sappy as all can be. Stimulating and salty. Man is this long and also needs mega mega air. You can sniff this so hard and it keeps giving more nuance. The complexity is off the charts and the structure and acidity is so intense. This is a 75 year wine and better in 10. But wow. A monument to the vintage. As long as any 19 i’ve had.
FOUR days later not only is this a 10, this is the greatest Riesling I’ve had in my life.

Very magnificent, extraordinary precision and great purity. Just like so much of Molitor’s wines. This is world class.
