Selbach-Oster, Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese trocken, Mosel

Delicious with Chinese takeaway.

Totally corked; worst corking that I've had in any bottle of wine ever

Nice pear notes. Will wait a few years for the next bottle.

My third bottle before I could really get a good read on this; much more trocken than spatlese; acidity is almost too much and is a real distraction from the rest of wine; once you get past the acid, there are nice apple and pear flavors which persist on moderately long finish

Spätlese trocken seems a contradiction in terms, but I guess "spätlese" now designates a certain range of grams of sugar per liter (172–209) rather than a late harvest as such, and trocken means that the sugar is entirely fermented into alcohol though at 12% it's not that high. Like many moselles it has the perfume of mirabelle plums and lots of fruit on the palate, very juicy, with a long dry finish. QPR fantastic @ $13.

Unpleasantly backward night one. Great on night two Lots of texture

Weightier than I expected. More like Keller Von der Fels than Mosel Riesling. Probably the vintage. Acid and fruit not in sync at this point. Powerful. Very high acid. Drive. Will try to hide the others from my wife for a few years.

This was very tightly coiled, so I think there is a good amount of room for further development. However, right now this is well made and varietally correct, but is lacking a really compelling component. It isn't really a wine that you can pick apart, but it doesn't rise to my (probably elevated) expectations for the vintage and it is hard to get really excited about. Even if it is lacking a real wow factor, this is still a pretty …

Selbach-Oster quick impressions : Very nice. The 2015 Selbach portfolio is great.
