A “one star” 2004 Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Auslese * (A.P. #15) offers mulled cider aromatic notes and a sappy, spicy, apple, and minerally salty palate that again juxtaposes creaminess of texture with peppy acids and distinct slate. A faintly warm but rich finish reveals somewhat coarser manifestations of botrytis and more obvious sweetness than generally evident in this vintage, and a somewhat simpler set of flavors. In the present context, this excellent wine is simply overshadowed by its site mates. Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.
