2009 Selbach-Oster Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (8/24/2020)
Three years ago I had a bottle of this that was a proper foil for some super spicy Thai. Tonight’s Thai dinner was not nearly so spicy, and the wine rolled over the food with a cement truck. I remember this wine being big, but this is massive. It’s Auslese*** massive. Eleven years after the vintage, and the fruit is still fresh, the acidity present, but buried under waves of richness, and the site expression is a mere echo, emerging mostly on the finish. This wine needs 15-20 more years to become what it can be.
