Markus Molitor
Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese Mosel Riesling
Mosel, Germany

Needed 30 minutes but what it really needed is 24 hours and it’s getting that. Will report back later. Ahh yeah. 24 hours later this is stunning. Elegant and aristocratic. The sheer class of this is so impressive. Nose has lime zest, vanilla extract, and palate has that 10% opulence hit that just soars into the jagged juicy edges of the finish. 9.5 to 9.7 overnight. Genius.

White capsule (dry). Young with lots of potential. Good acidity and salty finish.

Christmas wine. This is the "dry" (white capsule) version of Molitors Spätlese which delivers a flavor potpourri of fresh sliced white Peach, Citrus, Grapefruit mixed with herbs & spices. Beautiful integrated acidity, not to high but with the exactly last "Kick" I really love. Lots of herbs & slate components on the palate. Good amount of potential left for a decade of aging.

Fruits are soft. Soft balanced minerality, acidity and fruit.

2007 Zeltinger #Sonnenuhr #Spätlese #trocken, Markus #Molitor--a fairly linear, mineral-driven, dry #Riesling that we liked with the seafood that was the center piece of our meal at Schloss Monaise.
