2007 Markus Molitor Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Spätlese - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (10/29/2009)
nose: very nice and distinct nose of tropical fruits, white fruits, bits of pears and apples, and some real nice underlying tones of minerals and flint

taste: young and exuberant lighter feel with excellent medium+ acidity. The tones are very delicious with well balanced notes of pears, white fruits, tart apples, and some real nice underlying mineral notes. The finish really makes you take note as it just seems to nicely linger

overall: this took a good 1/2 hour to get going, and when it did, it opened into a real nice young riesling. Certainly drinkable now, and doesn’t come off as a long distance runner, but this should be able to develop well over the next 15-18 years and be delicious in each different facet of its aging (92 pts.)

Thanks for the note, Keith. I have a bottle of this and won’t rush to get to it just yet…

there’s certainly no rush at all, especially if you only have 1 of this. It should be a real fun one in about 8 years or so
