Parker om: Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Auslese*** Goldene Kapsel

Tasted along with the three-starred 2016 Hubertuslay Auslese, Molitor's 2016 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Auslese *** (Golden Capsule) is more discreet and flinty on the nose than the Kinheimer counterpart. (I'd love to open a second bottle to make sure this is the wine and not the cork, but I had just a single bottle.) It has bright fruit flavors and a lot of crushed stones but is still shy after pouring. The palate is highly elegant, pure, vital, salty and piquant: Graacher Himmelreich at its very best. With very fine raisin flavors, this has the filigree crystalline structure and stimulating salinity that makes the Himmelreich one of the most exciting single vineyards along the Middle Mosel. The finish is super clean, piquant and mouthwatering, with good grip and an almost dry (or mineral) finish. I recommend cellaring the 2016 for another 5 to 10 years. Tasted May 2018. 97+/100

Suckling om: Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Auslese*** Goldene Kapsel

A prototypical Mosel Auslese, but there is more concentration and a much better balance than most citizens of Planet Wine would expect from a sweet wine with less than 10% alcohol. Fantastic mineral freshness follows at the finish, making this very addictive. Drink or hold. This has decades of aging potential. (Stuart Pigott) 95/100

Min vinmager

Markus Molitor

Da den meget unge Markus Molitor overtog vingården ved Mosel fra sin far i 1984 i en alder af 20 år, startede han praktisk talt fra bunden uden nogen egen jord at dyrke. Så det var hårdt arbejde på lejede vinmarker.
