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.

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.

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.

Pours a slight greenish hue.
Strong mineral, lemon zest.
Wow the flavor is a WTF moment. Is this a Mosel riesling?! So much fresh lemon. It's so damn refreshing.
