Selbach-Oster
Zeltinger Schlossberg Spätlese Riesling *
Mosel, Germany
Spätlese *. Just perfect. Sweet with pineapple and peach flavors, followed by crisp acidity. Perfectly balanced—not over-sweet at all. Still fresh and golden in color.

This has barely budged in 6+ years. Just ridiculously delicious with bright pineapply tropical fruit that doesn't seem to have aged a day, with a crackling texture to give it definition. It is, underneath that, a very sweet wine, certainly thicker than the spatlese norm, and it's pretty amazing that it never gets cloying and retains that snap-crackle-pop, but there is a point before the end of the bottle when you put the cork back in and say that's enough sugar for one night.
