Selbach Oster 2012 Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Spatlese 750ml

The powerful 13% alcohol 2012 Zeltinger Schlossberg Spätlese trocken * was picked very ripe on November 2 and offers a concentrated bouquet with mint-scented wildflower aromas. Rich and intense on the glycerin-rich palate, that finishes quite drying and slightly bitter, this full-bodied wine has substance but is a little bit austere and out of balance at the moment. Aeration might help, but I had no chance to verify that.

Score: 88+ points -- Stephan Reinhardt, Robertparker.com, Feb 2015
