  (Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Spätlese) ($28.00) My first ever 3-plus core list wine. It smells like Rotlay does in many vintages. Perfect, pure, rich, bottomless, classic Mosel aromas – all sponti. I don’t claim this is the ultimate degree of intricacy or complexity. It is just the purest sublimity of its type. Clear, expressive, serenely energetic and long.***

  (Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Spätlese) ($34.00) My first ever 3-plus core list wine. It smells like Rotlay does in many vintages. Perfect, pure, rich, bottomless, classic Mosel aromas – all sponti. I don’t claim this is the ultimate degree of intricacy or complexity. It is just the purest sublimity of its type. Clear, expressive, serenely energetic and long. This is the taste I fell crazily in love with back in 1978, and came to understand as “Mosel.” Back then there were very few primary-fruit driven, stainless steel wines made. I like that style, but it’s explicable and it adds up; it’s linear. This kind of wine is mysterious and haunting. It’s like trying to describe why you think your lover is beautiful. You don’t enumerate her features and draw a diagram of how they’re positioned on her face. She’s just beautiful. And the way you feel when you look at her is a welling from your hidden heart. I feel something like it, when I taste a wine like this.
