Riesling Auslese Zeltinger Schlossberg Schmitt Selbach-Oster 2020 (750ML)

97+ Points, Stephan Reinhardt, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2020 Zeltinger Schlossberg Auslese Schmitt is utterly intense and complex as well as ripe and refined on the highly delicate nose that is exciting in its flinty purity and lemon-scented blue slate aromas. Full-bodied, round and refined on the palate, this is a very delicate yet saline and tensioned Riesling with fine minty notes and highly stimulating salinity and finesse. A fabulous Riesling." 08/22

96 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Still very young, this super-elegant Mosel is still way off revealing all its complex treasures. So finely nuanced on the palate, the floral-honey character precisely balanced by the lemon-zest acidity. Very long finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2023." 09/21

95 Points, Jean Fisch and David Rayer, Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 15 21. The 2020er Schmitt, as it is referred to on the consumer label, was block-harvested in the similarly named Lieu-Dit situated in a steep part of the vineyard (the reference to Zeltinger Schlossberg is only provided on the back label), and was fermented down to fully sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers a beautifully airy nose made of white flowers, ginger, cassis, herbs, and fine smoky elements. The wine is beautifully racy yet packed with complex flavors of fruits on the palate and leaves a remarkably racy yet pure feel in the long finish. The intensity, freshness, and refinement are truly remarkable! 2030-2050" 09/21
