Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 2013 Mosel

75cl bottle.

The name Selbach-Oster will be a familiar one to German wine aficionados as vintage in and vintage out, they are rated among the highest by the critics.

Prior bottle was nearly two years ago and the wine remains in a good spot, but has changed a bit from my prior notes. Much more of a white orchard feel on the nose now (as opposed to tropical) along with mineral, citrus and floral qualities. Medium bodied with white peach, pear and white melon upfront, adding a bit of depth and roundness through the middle along with background tropical notes (especially pineapple) that became more noticeable as the wine warmed. Backside shows good acidity and tart citrus notes (lemon and lime). Possibly opened a little cold as I was expecting more tropical notes and more expressiveness, inline with my prior bottle. The flavor profile is still quite enjoyable, but the intensity isn’t what it was in prior bottles in either fruit, depth or acidity. Possibly a slight bottle variation issue but regardless, there’s still much of interest here. 91/100 points -Notes from respected Cellar Tracker member RGCM Gananda in 2019
