Markus Molitor Alte Reben Riesling 2017

Slightly reductive at first, this only gradually opens up to reveal ripe notes of fruits including yellow peach, apricot and strawberry. A touch of smoke and spices comes through with airing and adds depth to the nose. The wine is very delicate and superbly focused on the palate, where white flowers and herbs come through. It leaves a very long and zest-infused feeling in the finish. This beautifully light and complex expression of dry Riesling only needs a few years of bottle ageing to blend its elements and show its full potential.
