Boasting a nose of spicy apples, the 2003 Riesling Auslese Zeltinger Sonnenuhr*** is a large-scaled, medium to full-bodied, boldly assertive wine. Though immensely rich and thick, it has wonderful balance, freshness, and harmony. Loads of botrytis can be found among this effort’s pineapple, passion fruit, poached pear, and raspberry flavors. Deep, concentrated and pure, it also exhibits an exceptionally long finish. Projected maturity: 2008-2022.

Honeyed, smoky jellied black fruits can be discerned in the nose of the 2003 Riesling Auslese Zeltinger Sonnenuhr. Medium-bodied and expansive, it reveals quartz-like attributes drenched in a compote of red fruits, apples, and pears. Suave and silky-textured, it is a sweet, voluptuous wine for drinking between 2008 and 2020. Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.
