WTN: 2007 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese 'Rotlay'

[David M. Bueker]

So I am still on a Selbach-Oster kick, and the wines are still impressing me with every sip. The Rotlay is a parcel that is picked as a block & yields what can only be a concentration of the steep slopes of the Mosel. Terry Theise has already said pretty much all there is to say about this wine, but I can add that for me it's a distillation of apple & lemon cream and at the center a solid mineral base that should sustain this wine for decades to come. It's not the BA style of the 2006, but rather a more (to my palate) perfect expression of auslese. Wonderful wine again.

Is this available at Table & Vine? Sounds like a wine I really need to get my hands on (then again that could be said for most of the recent Selbach-Oster wines), especially after my 'WOW' experience some time back with the 05 Rotlay.

Indeed I believe it is.

Excellent.

Given how well the 07s are drinking (heck Mikhail even said he wouldn't call me a babykiller if I was opening 07s very early), I need to find some.
