Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 1998

Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer) 1998: A classically pale, lemon yellow hue with a green tinge. Glacier-like freshness on the nose, with plenty of lime fruit, but with just a hint of a buttery edge. Delicious texture on the palate, with good weight as well. The lime and pearfruit has a tasty, tropical fruit accompaniment, flavours which linger delightfully on the length. Fresh, well-balanced yet tingling acidity completes the picture. 17/20 AP Nr: 2 606 319 021 99 (1/4/02)
