2006 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese * 92 Points
Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
Medium gold color. Drank 1 glass over 30+ minutes. Nose has mild fusil, zesty, citrus, apple, minerals and florals. The palate is quite sweet, orange, orange peel, ripe peach, pineapple, mineral, mild fusil, and finishes long. This steered to the far right side of the Auslese spectrum than what one would expect from a Spatlese. That being said, it was very enjoyable for what it was.
