2010 Markus Molitor Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese *** (Golden Capsule)
96 points
At the estate. Bottle opened October 12, 2013, only in the fridge since then. Full and fresh nose, slight honey, a hint of spice; superbly balanced, acid very much present - but not disturbing in any sense, white chocolate, very long. What a success! 95-97p

White - Sweet/Dessert
2010 Markus Molitor Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese *
95 points
Bottled 6 months ago. Somewhat muted nose, a hint of green; acid attack, very sweet of course, candy, endless length. At the moment the acidity is a bit too violent, may be overtaken a bit by the fruit what this evolves. Difficult to rate. 95-99?

Good PN nose, actually some complexity, some depth; good acid, moderate length, slightly complex, however burned note - not in a cooked sense, rustic
