2012 Selbach-Oster
Posted: Mon Mar 23, 2015 12:53 am
Those very long German wine name.
So tonight, I opened the 2012 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnehuhr Riesling Spätlese dry, to go with lemon chicken. Like many here, I like Riesling, and the German age great with that grape. This wine is light gold. Nose is typical, with some yellow and green lemons, minerals, oil, some starfruit and white peaches. In mouth, even if it is dry, it is rich and even a bit of sugar. Great character, soil and oil, back up by lemongrass, some bitterness, good length, very good balance. Medium long final, on green melon and oil. TN: 88-89. Still very young, and I think that wine have a nice future.
