  Apple and pear in spades; palate is simultaneously rich red apple and very light. Amazing wine.

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  Like the Kabinett, this achieves amazing richness and lightness at once. Peaches, red apples, and amazing acidity. Medium finish is very clean, of citrus and lasting acidity. Fantastic. Selbach-Oster hit it out of the park in 2015.

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  Similar in profile to (but a bit more power than) the (zero star) Schlossberg, but I prefer the Schlossberg to this one.

• 2015 Selbach-Oster Graacher Domprobst Riesling Auslese

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  Medium-intensity nose. Slight youthful spritz. Big, rich, but not at all heavy on the palate. Red apple. Doesn't show any botrytis. Seems simple right now, but is obviously young. Good.

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  Captivating, interesting nose. Honey, minerals, saline, florals. Serious wine. Very very good.
