Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese *** Grüne Kapsel
The 2018 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese *** (Green Capsule) is spot-on precise and highly aromatic on the deep, clear, crystalline and complex nose that reveals irresistibly elegant, very fine peach, mirabelle and slate aromas. This is the finest and most seductive nose of the feinherb or green-capsuled 2018 Rieslings, and it can't be any more attractive. On the palate, this is a medium-sweet to sweet, very intense, tight, long, complex and sustainable Auslese with rich yet precise, highly finessed and elegant fruit walking on a crystalline catwalk that gives very fine slate grip and tension. The wine's body is self-building up from its inner depth and leads to a persistent, very long and aromatic finish whose substance and freshness indicate fantastic aging potential. I am not sure, but in its sensual and seductive character, the 2018 is reminiscent of Molitor's corresponding 2006. Tasted twice at the domain in September 2020. 98+/100
