2019 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Kabinett

Mosel Saar Ruwer more

5/26/2024 - wmccone54 wrote: 91 points

It’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed a sweet Mosel Riesling. Displays a medium gold color. Pronounced aromatics: peach blossom, salty minerals, and distant petrol. Very rich flavor profile showing ripe peach, juicy tangerine, and sweet apricot underscored with salty slate on the backend. The “sneaky”, medium plus acidity provides excellent balance to the ripe medium sweet fruits. Medium plus finish. In development, not a ton of complexity right now, but this should cellar for quite some time. Enjoyed with charcuterie and assorted hard cheeses. Drink through 2034+.

Nice fruit (peach, tropical fruit, nice citrus), nice floral, integrated sweetness, good acidity could possibly be a bit stronger. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.

. Hmmm, blast of sweetness, tropical fruit with an apricot botrytis note. Powerful and buoyed by great acids. B+/A-

First of four. In a great place. Petrol on the nose, some lemon oil and peach underneath. Great mix of ripe peach and pears and the honey and spice that comes with age. Enough acidity to keep this from feeling flabby or cloying. I’m sure it will develop more complexity but it’s probably in its prime drinking window for me and will stay there for a several years at least.

Decanted 30 minutes before service. In the glass, dark golden-orange - a dead ringer for an adolescent Sauternes. On the nose and the palate, it might as well actually be one - mango, passion fruit, syrupy mouthfeel, residual sugar. We're well into dessert wine territory. Only the lack of botrytis, the acid, and the faint hints of lime remain to suggest to your palate that this might be something else.

But as long as you know that going in, it's lovely.

Length & girth
Completely fills the mouth
A reminder that all the best apples taste like other, better fruits, in this case, peaches and limes
Good call on the quinine, Rob Hansult, though I think this is best celebrated, not analyzed
Minor upon opening, opulent on day 2

On day 5, straight tangerines
Amazing

Definitely an improvement over my last bottle 2 years ago. Nice smokiness to the fruit on the nose. Great minerality and tension on the palate. Delicious.

A special Wine
In the Mouth you had the oily feel, which I connect with Alsace more than German riesling. On the nose: signs of petrol, peach and pineapple. When it comes to sweetness it is a bit in-between.

Good bottle, plan to drink the other in the next year or two. Acid was a little light for the blue cheese, but still enough there to hold up.

Out of 375 mL. Dark brown color. Intense golden raisins and botrytis, this has so much tannic extract that on its own it tastes virtually dry and very earthy. But a quite brilliant pairing with gorgonzola, which mostly smooths out the tannins and lets the lovely sweet fruit show through, bringing everything into balance.

2001 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Himmelreich Riesling Eiswein

Mosel Saar Ruwer more

4/13/2024 - Sotto325 wrote: 96 points

A literally perfect eiswein—almost any wine— in one of the greatest vintages in 50 years. This of course has 40 years left but now is truly breathtaking! A Riesling acid backbone that screams elegance and lively support of the melange of fruit; a viscosity that has now thinned out with that wonderful Mosel blending tropical flowers and fruit, some of the typical minerality of the site—not floral Wehlener but some mix of stone minerals and light flowers— in a package of light medium gold color. A rare treat.

2019 Selbach-Oster Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese *

Pale golden yellow with a very wide rainy, translucent rim with very minimal legs.

Tropical fruit forward and minerally-driven on the nose with pineapples, peaches, minerals, wet stone, and petroleum in a pleasant way.

Dense and citrusy on the palate but not overly sweet - lemons, limes, honey, grapefruits, pineapples, and minerals. Good acidity as well which balances out the sweetness.

This is delicious; however, the finish is not as long as I'd like.

Light body, greenish golden colour, 9.5 abv. Intense tropical fruits, citrus and dried grass aroma. Ripe apples, mango and mandarin palate following by gentle minerality, soft acidity and refreshing finish of good length. Charm, delicate and harmonies but complex and impressing. Food friendly, well pairing with grilled trout. Serve 10ºC - 12ºC. Open a few minutes ahead. Drink now and for the next 4/6 years.

Effusive, attractive nose of dried orange peel, apricot, spice, and a touch of petrol. The palate is full and sweet, but I found the acidity fairly bright, in contrast to the last most recent note on this (admittedly from 5 years ago). The finish is predictably epic. This is drinking very well. Is it in its mature window or young, I have idea. But I am sure that you will enjoy this now if you open one.

2015 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese feinherb Ur Alte Reben

Mosel Saar Ruwer more

4/7/2024 - Bagwhat Likes this wine: 92 points

Popped and poured at fridge temperature. Stored with me since release. Drank from Grassl Liberte glasses.

Pours a nice pale golden yellow. The nose is petrol at first but this quickly fades. Behind that is a fruit-laden bouquet of pineapple, pear, apricot, and other golden fruits and pretty florals. The palate is silky and honey with more tropical-leaning fruit. Agree with previous comments that this seems a little more sweet than feinherb would suggest. Nonetheless this is framed by excellent stony minerality and well-judged acid. The finish is decently long, tropical and fruity, but also herbaceous and acid forward.
I think overall this is at peak for me, but could go a long time and as the sweetness (maybe) fades it would come into favor for different palates at different times. Lovely. Glad I have another, as well as ‘19s and ‘20s.

No idea what this was going to be like before pulling the cork, but with hindsight it was exactly like what you'd expect from a 30yo rich, dry, not particularly distinguished Riesling. Not a great deal of fruit left, but plenty of structure from extract and acidity. Bitter crabapple and occasional hints of butter and icing sugar. Quite long on the finish, and overly bracing too. Probably a touch of cider, too; suspect it would have been a better wine five years ago.

4/6/2024 - Rieslingfan wrote: NR

Labeled as Auslese, but if served blind I might have guessed it to be labeled as Spätlese, this was incredibly easy to drink - just pure Riesling, with virtually no evidence of botrytis. Ripe apple, a hint of peach, brisk acidity, and the sweetness just melts away on the finish. Made a delicious match for our sweet potato and goat cheese quesadillas with caramelized onions.

4/5/2024 - wlsch wrote: 92 points

Peach, lime leaf, some orange citrus. Slight amount of petrol, some slate and stone notes. Leans towards the heavier side of Kabinett, but it has enough acidity to balance it, so it doesn't come across as fat or unbalanced. Drinks well now, but clearly no rush. Picked up on closeout at $22.50. Will hold the other bottles for several more years.

Pears and honey on the nose. The body is sweet and the fruit is richer, gliding towards a lemony finish. A strong step up from their entry-level regional Kabinett that was very recently tasted.

Wow! Age your good Rieslings. This is delicious, with miles to go.

Peach colored.
Loads of stone fruit, hibiscus, petrol and match book off the nose. Just wonderful.
Perfectly balanced. Great acidity. Yellow apples and more stone fruit. Tastes like the nose with a longish finish. Just a beautiful wine. So damn impressed.
