Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Auslese Schmitt 2020

97+ POINTS: Stephan Reinhardt, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
96 POINTS: Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com

“The 2020 Zeltinger Schlossberg Auslese Schmitt is utterly intense and complex as well as ripe and refined on the highly delicate nose that is exciting in its flinty purity and lemon-scented blue slate aromas. Full-bodied, round and refined on the palate, this is a very delicate yet saline and tensioned Riesling with fine minty notes and highly stimulating salinity and finesse. A fabulous Riesling.”

“Still very young, this super-elegant Mosel is still way off revealing all its complex treasures. So finely nuanced on the palate, the floral-honey character precisely balanced by the lemon-zest acidity. Very long finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2023.”
