Molitor Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese*** WK 2015 (375ML)

96 JS / 95 VM

The most amazing of the 2015 dry rieslings from Markus Molitor, but not only because it has the most amazing exotic fruit, but also because of its stunning spiciness and a devastating mineral quality at the finish. Great potential if you can find a bottle and have the patience for a couple of decades. From 120-year-old vines. - James Suckling

Ripe apple and white peach are garlanded with honeysuckle, studded with raw hazelnut, and tinged with the piquancy of seeds and pits on a head-turningly intense nose and a seductively luscious palate performance, with textural creaminess and the merest hint of sweetness reinforcing an impression of seamless ripeness. The intensity of honeysuckle-, narcissus- and heliotrope-like inner mouth perfume is striking and complements a sense of buoyancy remarkable for a wine this expansive and texturally lush. The enveloping and soothingly persistent finish adds an appropriate stone-licking nuance to the wine’s floral and fruity layers. (AP 40) - David Schildknecht, Vinous Media
