Markus Molitor Riesling Bernkasteler Lay Auslese** White Capsule 2015  - First Bottle

Reviews

95 Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate -
The 2015 Riesling Bernkasteler Lay Auslese ** (White Capsule) opens enormously deep, rich, ripe and concentrated on the nose, with smoky/flinty aromas intermixing with perfectly ripe yellow stone fruit and also yeasty flavors form the sur lie aging. On the palate, this is a powerful, rich, creamy textured and very intense killer Riesling of great elegance. Provided with a very long and juicy finish, this is a silky textured and seamless wine that is rich and powerful but perfectly balanced. More than this, it will still be in great shape in 20 or 30 years.
94 James Suckling -
A big jump in ripeness from the dry Spatlese wines. Perfectly golden fruits, lots of herbs and a depth that you only get from old vines in a top site. Enormous freshness at the finish. Better from 2018, but has a couple of decades ahead of it.

About the Producer

In 1984, at the tender age of 20, Markus Molitor took over his father's winery with a clear aim: to produce Mosel Rieslings under the name "Molitor" in the tradition of eight generations and in the same quality that made the region world-famous 100 years ago. The wines are terroir-specific, unmistakable and extremely ageable. One of our favorite Mosel producers here at First Bottle!
