2004 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett, Mosel, Markus Molitor
Appearance: green-gold, some yellow.
Nose: apples and honey (more developed than expected), some kerosene.
Palate: characteristic high acidity balancing lovely residual sugar. Refreshing, but already softening out seemingly.
Conclusion: this was more advanced in age than I expected, but it’s rash to judge from one bottle. Molitor is a very good German Riesling producer and we will ideally leave the other bottle for a good while.
Rating: 17.5/20 [but will improve]
