Markus Molitor Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Eiswein 1998

Markus Molitor Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Eiswein 1998: A limpid, golden yellow wine, with a viscid appearance when poured. It gives little on the nose, although with time there begin to appear some hints of riches to come. Suggestions of pineapples, perhaps oranges, and a rich, background aroma redolent of honey spread on freshly baked bread. A full, rounded texture on the palate, with more orange and pineapple fruit, together with a not unpleasant hint of raisins. Great sweetness is carried through by just sufficient acidity, which from time to time creeps up on the palate with a fine, tingling freshness. It finishes very smoothly, although it has a short length. This wine is crying out for more time in bottle. 16+/20 AP Nr. 2 576 609 42 99 (15/4/02)
