  8/5/2022 - Tinram Likes this wine: 93 Points

  Deep yellow. Fresh nose with peach, blood orange, minerals and some flower notes. On the palate the most obvious notes were blood orange, minerals and peach. Starting to develop more mature tones with a hint of petroleum. A very small amount of sweetness balances the acidity in a very good way.
  
  In my opinion most Mosel wines still benefit from a little residual sweetness balancing the acidity without making the wine sweet. The style is resembling some of the wines Markus Molitor makes, could have been a Molitor Spätlese with green capsule.
  
  Served to Moules Marinieres with some fennel. Perhaps a surprising combination, but it worked out excellent.
