Markus Molitor Riesling Alte Reben Saar

Markus Molitor's Riesling Alte Reben Saar offers a clear, pure and spicy, quite deep and intense bouquet with slatey pastry notes. Round and juicy on the palate, this is a complex, elegant and long yet still slightly astringent Riesling with enormous power and richness. The wine has a positive astringency that is crystalline and phenolic and asks for patience.

• 92+ POINTS, WINE ADVOCATE The 2018 Riesling Alte Reben Saar offers a clear, pure and spicy, quite deep and intense bouquet with slatey pastry notes. Round and juicy on the palate, this is a complex, elegant and long yet still slightly astringent Riesling with enormous power and richness. The wine has a positive astringency that is crystalline and phenolic and asks for patience.

  93 POINTS, WINE ADVOCATE The 2017 Riesling Alte Reben Saar is a dry Riesling with a clear, bright, concentrated bouquet of crunchy slate and toasted yellow paprika that reflects the coolish terroir of Molitor's plot in the Saarburger Rausch (and Bockstein), even in a warm vintage such as 2017. Lush and intense but lithe, refined and highly elegant on the palate, this is a salty-piquant, well-concentrated and fruity Saar Riesling with a long, well-structured, very energetic and lingering salty-crunchy finish. Impressive!

  92+ POINTS, WINE ADVOCATE The 2016 Riesling Alte Reben is clear, deep, fresh and flinty on the bright and elegant nose. Filigreed and piquant on the palate, this is a crystalline, clear and elegant Riesling from old vines. Its finish is very salty and reflects the pure slate soils of the steep vineyards in the Mosel Valley. The wine tastes bone dry and weighs in at 11.5% alcohol.
