Green capsule. Exactly what I wanted. Gorgeous Mosel nose of apple pie, apple phyllo dough, slate and pure Graacher lift. Palate is juicy and concentrated, with outrageous acidity and the sweetness acting textural, just a kiss, not sugary. Terrific grip, purity and mineral drive, with a lingering, juicy, dissipating finish. 2022 Mosel is in a great place.

Day two is stunning. Classic Mosel transport: rain on slate, lime Smarties, lime Sweet Tarts, cotton candy and pure vineyard air. Palate is explosive and perfectly pure, with rainwater clarity, sweet lime, Meyer lemon, huge dry extract and outrageous sapidity. Long, clinging, slate-soaked finish. Green capsule is Molitor’s sweet spot. — 10 days ago

GK. Becoming one of my favorite Kabinetts. Just perfect. Lime slate nose. Dreamlike it’s so pure. Palate is all energy and elegy. Perfect sweet acid balance and so juicy. Unreal finish. Spiritual. — 3 months ago

Needed 30 minutes but what it really needed is 24 hours and it’s getting that. Will report back later. Ahh yeah. 24 hours later this is stunning. Elegant and aristocratic. The sheer class of this is so impressive. Nose has lime zest, vanilla extract, and palate has that 10% opulence hit that just soars into the jagged juicy edges of the finish. 9.5 to 9.7 overnight. Genius. — 6 months ago

Wow this has opened up. Nose is so 21 and super steely, citrus, floral and skeletal. Palate is luscious, juicy and nervy with gorgeous fleshy fruit and unreal density yet lightness. Awesome. So dense. Weight of a spatlese but nimble as a Kabinett. Lime zest on the nose now. Seashells. Chablis like. — a year ago

Absolutely fantastic; pours a golden hue, aromas of white flowers, citrus oil, tangerine, grapefruit, wet stone; palate of various citrus, tangerine, loads of minerals, sea spray; dry and long. I love this producer, thanks @Lyle Fass — 13 days ago

Stunning. Nose is white peach, white cherries, apricot juice, caramel and more. So clean. So elegant. Palate is teeming with energy and sapidity. Juicy, rich and super clean. Terrific compact quality and dry foie gras like finish. Superb. Really juicy and dense. Intense and so engaging. Almost 9.5. — 2 months ago

Just a monster. So dense and complex. Unreal density. I mean this is the densest Riesling I have had all year. Yet so fine. Unreal structure. This reminds me of Jadis 2012. Unreal. Unreal. The finish is a mineral blast to end all mineral blasts. — 7 months ago

Such a stark yet beautiful wine. Nose is ultra mineral and the palate is pure as a the most elite Icelandic glacial melt. Just gorgeous. Showing out of its mind. So round like 22 can be and for a high acid estate this vintage is tops at Molitor. — 10 months ago

Nose: bright. Lovely. White and yellow flowers. Pink grapefruit.

Palate: on the sweet side. Nice peach. Solid. Mountain stream. Sort of lovely if not not brilliant.

AppyHour recommended. Wegmans helper said it was one of his favorites chill for an hour in fridge. Too cold masks the flavor. Chip enjoyed greatly. — 13 days ago

Wow, medium yellow color, very nice floral apricot honeyed with just a hint of that petrol underneath, with a light lithe texture into a bit more acidic finish. 8% ABV. Must have aged well since last time, last one unfortunately — 6 months ago

Gold Capsule. I love Markus’ version of this and prefer it to JJ Prum as it’s more reserved and less opulent. Stunning yet subtle nose of green apple, pear and peach plus some apricot notes and vanilla extract. Unreal slate and mineral that is so fine and refined. Just a super perfumed nose. Palate has ridiculous energy and acidity with jaw dropping purity and intense acidity. Racy. Really racy. Palate has terrific peach and green apple fruit. Maybe a skoche honeyed but the mineral/acid spine is just incredible here. Light yet intense and built for the very long haul. Brilliant. Really elegant now with air. Amazing. — 2 years ago
