Parker about Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 2016
Katharina's 2016 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese (AP 06 17) is super clear, precise and aromatic on the nose, showing good concentration that is perfectly interwoven with the smoky minerality of the sundial. Super lush and round on the palate, this is a gorgeously rich and supple Spätlese with remarkable finesse and elegance. The acidity is ripe and fully integrated. The Zeltinger drinks perfectly today—and it won't survive in any cellar, because you just can't resist it.

Suckling over Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 2016
There are delicate spices and very attractive succulence to this late harvest. The acidity is very much in the background until the finish lifts off. Drink or hold.
