Tasting notes
The 2013 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Trockenbeerenauslese *** opens with a very clear, fresh, fine and pure dark stone fruit aroma that also reveals deep and refreshing minerality. Round and lush on the palate, this is a generously aromatic, highly elegant and refined TBA with a long and finessed finish. I wouldn't call it weightless, but kind of. The stewed peach aromas are precise and beautifully sweet, balanced by the fine and crystalline acidity. The finish is most of all salty and aromatic, truly stimulating and digestible. This is anther great TBA from Markus Molitor. Bottled in June 2016; tasted in March 2018.
