€ 30,00 INC. VAT The Zeltinger Schlossberg is the slope adjacent to the Zeltinger sundial. So top of the top. It is the steepest section of this slope from which the wine is obtained, over 80 years old root-true vines in single stake education with the most extreme orientation. Unlike the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr, the Schlossberg is more clearly at home in the slate. The nose is clearly dominated by flint, wet slate. Stone, minerality and salt in the foreground. The whole thing is underpinned by a flower meadow, mirabelle, light reneklode, also a bit of quince, a touch of orange peel and lime underneath. More to the mineral than to the citrus fruit. Molitor loves the elegance, loves the minerality far more than the extreme fruit drive. Flint and wet granite to it, slate in the most massive form, with fine quince and stone fruit rolling up again.

€ 33,00 NO VAT (private collection) Colour: brightly intense golden yellow Fragrance: reveals a kaleidoscope of fragrances: rose petals, spicy flowers of lilies, ylang ylang, tiaré, ripe yellow exotic fruits, honeydew, mango, passion fruit, lychee, citrus peels as well as spicy notes of dried herbs, ginger, saffron, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg Taste: deep aromatics, rich in body and extracts, but with finely spicy juiciness and salty minerality, which stands out more and more with age; almost infinitely long in the finish.Add to cart -
€ 35,00 INC. VATFrom the uppermost of Hühnerberg’s three broad terraces, this one-star Spätlese leads delightfully with ripe white peach and mirabelle garlanded in diverse flowers, including the orange blossoms that Müllen considers typical of wines from that terrace. The delicate, tender, polished midpalate adds a hint of raw almond, leading to a lusciously lingering finish admirably transparent to shimmering wet stone as well as mouthwateringly mingled with mineral salts. Here’s one Müllen 2018 that I don’t have any worries about recommending for extended cellaring. Amusingly, he says it is one of several wines that he wanted to go dry – but I’m happy that it had other ideas. The situation was actually unusual, as Müllen related: “By late February or early March it seemed that this just didn’t want to ferment any further. But I thought, maybe if I just give it some time… So it lay nearly five months on the lees, naturally without SO2, but it never budged. And when I detected a slight hint of oxidation in the wine as sampled from the top of the cask, I knew which way its full contents were headed and that it was time to bottle.” Why award this wine just a single star? I can only conclude that Müllen doesn’t quite share my high opinion of it.

€ 36,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2019 Nizza Riserva is packed with inky dark fruit, graphite, cured meat cloves leather and lavender. Deep and layered, with tremendous stature, the Riserva is a wonderfully complete wine that just needs a few years in bottle to come together. It is another impressive wine in this range from Olim Bauda.

€ 36,50 NO VAT (private collection) Intense ruby red colour. On the nose it amazes with evolved notes that recall the subspirit fruit and black pepper. Upon tasting, it immediately shows its power that is subsequently smoothed by the sweetness and softness of the evolved tannins; finally the acidic vein makes it extremely persistent in the mouth.Add to cart -
€ 38,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2017 Barbera d'Asti Superiore Bionzo is laced with the essence of blackberry jam, gravel, smoke, crushed rocks and menthol. This potent, structured Barbera from Asti needs a few years to unwind, but it is impressive. Like the Gallina, the Bionzo shows a transition to a style that is a bit less overt than in the past, but without sacrificing the intensity La Spinetta fans have come to expect. I would give the tannins a few years to soften.

€ 39,00 INC. VAT The Auslesen are obtained from ripe, golden yellow and from rusty grapes. Here there is a natural concentration of all flavours. Auslese often taste like dried fruits such as dates, figs or raisins, but also like dried peach and apricot. Mostly Auslesen are sweet wines. Only in rare cases do we offer dry and delicate selection.Add to cart -
€ 39,00 INC. VATOverripe pear and lychee on the nose take on a syrupy impression on the polished, soft, subtly creamy and delicate palate. The finish accentuates the impressions of vanilla and liquid lily perfume that were already noted in this year’s "two-star" Hühnerberg Spätlese. And here, too, there is enough juiciness that the caressingly sustained, lush finish doesn’t become cloying. Müllen would certainly take issue with my assessment of ageworthiness, but while it’s going to take a long time for this wine’s superficial sweetness to back off, I am not convinced that the wait will pay significant dividends in complexity. Müllen is currently much enamored with the evolution of his vintage 2003 Spätlesen and Auslesen, with their softness of feel, prominent sweetness and confectionary, caramel-tinged character. Oenophiles who share his high opinion of those traits in Mosel Riesling may well feel rewarded by patient cellaring of a 2018 like this one. (Yet-riper sweet wines from the Hühnerberg – along with other nobly sweet wines from Müllen’s vintage 2018 collection – will be tasted in late 2020 and reviewed as part of a subsequent report.)

€ 40,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2021 Soave Classico La Rocca seduces, flaunting its rich bouquet of confectionary spice and sweet oak before coming further into focus with baked apple and chamomile notes. This is elegance personified, opulent at first and then decidedly savory and precise, with crisp orchard fruits flowing across a saline-tinged, acidic core. The 2021 finishes with dramatic length, staining the palate in youthful concentration as zesty citrus combines with dried apricot and peach. This is an especially decedent vintage for La Rocca, yet the balance is something to behold. It was refined for one year in a mix of 2000- and 500-liter Slavonian oak barrels.

€ 40,00 INC. VATAdd to cartHoneysuckle and heliotrope on the nose deliver site-typical allure. The palate feels surprisingly firm, though it exudes generously juicy apple. Piquancy of apple seed and the bitter aspect of vanilla bean serve for welcome counterpoint on a lusciously fruited finish admirably transparent to wet stone. I suspect that this installment of “Fuder #6” will grow in stature given a few years in bottle.

€ 41,00 NO VAT (private collection) It has a deep and intense ruby red colour. The aroma is wide and characterised by hints of ripe fruit and notes of spice. In the mouth it is harmonious, persistently intense and fine, of great body and structure.Add to cart -
€ 41,00 NO VAT (private collection) Sophie is vibrant and concentrated, with notes of apple, apricot, lime, and marzipan set against a backdrop of racy acidity and wet stone minerality. Fermented in oak barrels & aged on fine lees for 9 months, this is a wine capable of aging, yet certainly drinkable now.Add to cart -
€ 42,00 NO VAT (private collection) Intense ruby red colour with garnet nuances, elegant scent with hints of black cherry, overripe fruit and spices. It is a wine of great structure and complexity but at the same time velvety and elegant.Add to cart -
€ 42,00 NO VAT (private collection) The 2018 Quinault l'Enclos has a deep pomegranate purple colour and beautifully expressed notes of baked black cherries, ripe black plums and blackberries, plus hints of violets, dark chocolate, star anise and tobacco leaf. The medium-bodied palette has a beautiful velvety texture and an abundance of freshness that supports the perfumed black fruits, with a long and fragrant finishAdd to cart -

€ 42,00 INC. VATAdd to cartThis marries fruit from the uppermost of Müllen’s four terraces in Hühnerberg with fruit from below the terraced section (the same steep sector that yielded this year’s impressive “no star” Spätlese trocken). Pineapple, white peach and mint mingle on the nose with site-typical suggestions of woodsmoke. The silken palate is at once soothingly cooling and tinglingly invigorating, with sweetness supportively judged without trying to become a dominant player in its own right. Hints of quince and caramel point to advanced ripeness (with a trace of botrytis) and are gorgeously complemented by the wine’s textural richness and subtle sweetness on a lusciously lingering finish. The balance of richness with fresh fruit juiciness and the impeccable balance of sweetness are features I have generally missed in residually sweet Müllen bottlings of past vintages. (Whether or not this wine’s vineyard origins or the fact that it is the collection’s sole sweet Hühnerberg Spätlese account for its being labeled without stars, don’t let that mislead you – even if Müllen encourages this – to anticipate less than top quality.)

€ 43,00 INC. VAT Kröver Letterlay is a very typical Moselle layer with outstanding quality. The location is partly oriented to the south, partly to the southeast. The wines are characterised by great harmony and full-bodiedness. Usually the wines of the Letterlay are a bit more delicate in acidity than the wines from our other locations.Add to cart -
€ 45,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2022 Gewurztraminer Altenbourg has a lovely ivy edge on the nose alongside peach, peppery and fragrant. The palate is alive with peachy sweetness, juicy and rose petal tinged, beautifully rounded with a frame of bitter orange zest, rich but well-contoured. The zestiness and pithiness counter the 34 g/L of residual sugar, adding their lovely bitterness to this gently sweet wine. Together, they make the mouth water. (Off-Dry)

€ 45,00 INC. VATAdd to cartRipe pear and lime wreathed in buddleia and lily-of-the-valley make for an alluring nose and then lusciously inform a seductively creamy, delicate palate. Smoky black tea and incisive fresh ginger lend invigoration to a finish that sensationally extends the wine’s intense pure fruit, along with a liquefaction of its floral perfume. Why no stars? Apparently Müllen thought this wine was beyond all that. He was right.

€ 50,00 INC. VAT Not for the first time, Müllen views a "two-star" Hühnerberg Spätlese – this one issuing from two broad upper terraces and the site’s oldest vines (likely ones recorded as having been planted by Langguth in 1898) – as superior to the corresponding Hühnerberg Auslese trocken. (In fact, he’s asking nearly twice the price.) Sometimes the difference in Prädikat reflects a distinct difference in character, but in the present instance, Müllen had to bottle as “Auslese” a batch that slightly exceeded the legal limit for free SO2 in white wines of Prädikat Spätlese. As is also often the case, Müllen’s dry “two-star” Hühnerberg was the last wine of its vintage to get bottled. A fascinating nose offers chamomile, iris, ginseng and peach kernel, anticipating the subtly musky, piquant, hard-to-capture elements that join luscious flesh of white peach on a glossy and expansive palate. The influence of over 12,5% alcohol is felt in terms of body but fortunately not heat. The correspondingly complex finish features a decisive undertone of wet stone, and grips with remarkable persistence, its piquant elements well integrated. 93 pts Add to cart -
€ 52,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2021 Guidalberto, San Guido's blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, is soft, succulent and alluring right out of the gate. The supple contours of Merlot lend fleshiness to this mid-weight, racy Maremma blend. Ripe red cherry fruit, spice, leather and tobacco are nicely pushed forward. Best of all, the 2021 will drink well right out of the gate.

€ 52,00 NO VAT (private collection) Blackcurrant, black cherry, and damson are complemented by hints of mineral, almost balsamic nuances of black olive, mint, tomato leaf, and sharp black pepper. Youthful and alluring, its assertive and self-assured structure is undeniably revealed when allowed to breathe in the glass.Add to cart

€ 52,00 NO VAT (private collection)
The 2020 Guidalberto is a gorgeous, classy wine. Less opulent than it can be, the 2020 impresses with its energy and drive. Sweet red cherry, plum, mint, rose petal, cedar and pipe tobacco all take shape in this super-attractive, mid-weight offering from Tenuta San Guido. There's a bit more Merlot in the 2020, but Guidalberto is increasingly made from lots that don't make it into Sassicaia, which explains the style of recent vintages. This is a terrific showing, especially considering the recent bottling. It's a fine relative value in Bolgheri's high-rent district. (Originally Published in March 2022)

€ 54,50 NO VAT (private collection) Bright ruby red with a violet tinge. Candied violets on the palate, distinct floral nuances, as well as cherries, peaches, and background notes of cinnamon. Tremendously juicy tannins, displaying a lot of fruit suppleness and structure on the palate, evolving gradually into multiple layers, with reverberations. Excellent ageing potential.Add to cart
