2016 Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Spätlese goldene Kapsel Markus Molitor, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2016 Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Spätlese goldene Kapsel, Markus Molitor

The 2016 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese (Golden Capsule) has deep, clear and flinty bouquet of perfectly ripe and healthy fruits. Lush, round and elegant on the palate, this is a very delicate and harmonious Spätlese from Molitor's most important grand cru. Its finish is salty-piquant, very precise and tickling, showing stimulating grip and mineral tension. Keep it for another 5 to 10 years. - Stephan Reinhardt, März 18

Mosel Fine Wines - 2016 Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Spätlese goldene Kapsel, Markus Molitor

Quite reductive at first, this only slowly reveals beautiful scents of canned yellow peach, quince, apricot, smoke and candied grapefruit on the nose. The wine has good acidity, which is however slightly overpowered by ample juicy cream and quite some residual sugar at the early stage. This smooth, Auslese-styled Riesling will need extensive cellaring in order to integrate its mid-palate richness and finds a gorgeous inner balance. 2026-2046 - Okt. 17
