Riesling Kinheimer Rosenberg Auslese *** (Green Capsule) Molitor 2016 (750ML)

97 Points, Stephen Reinhardt, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2016 Riesling Kinheimer Rosenberg Auslese *** (Green Capsule) offers a super fine raisin and refreshing slatey/flinty bouquet that indicates great purity, finesse and crunchy/slatey freshness. The fermentation stopped at 34 grams of residual sugar per liter (11% alcohol), and the resulting wine is highly delicate, pure, lush and piquant on the palate. It is quite sweet and shows celery flavors as well as great tension that is neither rustic nor challenging but really fine, giving vibrancy, grip and energy to the lush and generous but always precise and elegant Riesling fruit. This is an exciting wine, and Markus filled it as a three-starred Auslese for the first time because he was convinced the wine deserves it. Tasted March 2018." 3/18

95 Points, James Suckling: "The ravishing concentration, elegance and clarity make this a standout wine in the context of 2016 off-dry Mosel riesling. The pristine finish adds more excitement to this stunning wine. Drink or hold." 6/18
