Markus Molitor Zeltinger Deutschherrenberg Riesling Auslese ** (Golden Capsule) Edition 18

Lovely perfume, showing flowers, white and green berries, citrus, and stone fruit notes. Rich, yet noteworthy freshness for this ripe vintage. Showing expected notes of age. In a very good place and likely to hold for three to five years. 93-94.

Pronounced nose Apricot and yellow nectarine Great acidity good balance

Nose of mango, peach, and juicy apricots. The palate is both fluid with its acidity and freshness, yet viscous with its enormous density. Apricot, peach, and spices are the dominant aromas in a convincing ensemble. A grand finish of roasted fruits and honey.

Tasted at the domain. Burnt caramel, toffee apple, blueberry cream. Focused apple tart. This is good but the sweetness veers into saccharine territory for me
