Assorted Markus Molitor Zeltinger Tasting Lot

“White peach, apple and almond are announced on the nose, then piquantly marked by their pit and pips, laced with mouthwatering salinity and underlain with wet stone on a delicate, polished, only slightly sweet palate. There is a watercolor-like combination of transparency and understatement to this performance. A bottle that had been open for two weeks showed equal freshness, yet greater knittedness, and an even juicier finish. (DS)” (11/2016)

“Molitor's 2016 Riesling Kinheimer Rosenberg Spätlese (Green Capsule) offers a clear and very elegant nose with fine and intense but not overly aromatic fruit aromas. Lush and piquant on the delicate palate, with fine slate flavors, delicate tannins and a persistent mineral structure, this is a tensioned, firm and vibrant Spätlese of remarkable class. It's not spectacular in terms of flavors, but its expression and length are nothing but spectacular. The fruit is still covered a bit in the finish, but I suppose this will change over the years. This wine is made for aging anyway. (SR)” (03/2018)

“Plenty of white- and yellow-peach aromas with a hint of herbal freshness. Very cool and fresh with a super-crisp finish. Oh yes, there is also some sweetness but it's really not that obvious. Drink or hold.” (06/2018)

“Ripe pear is draped with clover and honeysuckle on the nose as well as on a texturally refined, subtly creamy palate underlain by wet stone. An influx of salinity serves for saliva-inducement on a lusciously lingering finish. (DS)” (01/2018)
