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. — 8 days ago

Really outstanding wine. Layered palate with mushroom, licorice, and peppery spice notes adding additional intrigue to the vivid peach and citrus fruits. Glossy texture and a very long finish. White Cap. — 8 months ago

A heavy amount of petroleum on the nose, but a nice honeyed sweet floral finish. Hooray to Beijing wine bar! — 2 years ago

White Cap. Rocking bottle of Domprobst. One of my favorite sites. Sweet or dry. Nose is all mineral powder, some mineral chunks, lime zest, green apple skins, some other deep mineral scents and scant white flowers. Palate is full bodied and dense but also silky and impossibly dry yet ripe. What a tightrope. Juicy and barely sweet but really just ripe and mineral. Sweet tart vibes. So good. Let’s see what air does. — 3 months ago

2017 vintage. Ridiculously delicious and intertwined notes of peach, apricot and pear with the sweetness dimmed just enough so as not to dominate. Mouth-watering. 01.16.26. — 6 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

I’ve found some of the previous Molitor bottles to have a bit of an off note but nothing like that here. Nice spatlese. Was hoping for a smidge more acid but nice. — 2 years ago

Wow. No formal notes. GK. Way too young but enough baby fat to be enjoyable with Laotian food. — 2 years 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
