"The 1998 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr SpÀtlese One Star from Johannes Selbach is a really beautiful example of the vintage, with a nice dollop of botrytis adding depth and dimension on both the nose and palate. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a deep and generous blend of pear, apple, bee pollen, a complex base of slate tones, a touch of white cherry and a topnote of apple blossoms. On the palate the wine is medium-full, succulent and complex, with a fine core, impressive focus and grip and a very long, zesty and gently glazed finish of impressive purity and bounce. A delicious wine."
