- 2004 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (7/12/2024)
Two years on from my prior bottle, and while this one had a slightly dodgy cork it was still completely in the zone. Perhaps a touch more advanced than I might have expected, but in no way past its best, just cruising along the maturity plateau. There was more grilled pineapple and dripping-ripe peach in this one, but it still had a freshness to the fruit on the finish alongside deep saltiness and a dash of light cream. Big for Spätlese, but finished with no heaviness, just haunting notes of fruit and cream.
