Riesling Eiswein Zeltinger Himmelreich 1 star 2002 Selbach-Oster

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (96)

An awe-inspiring offering, Johannes Selbach’s 2002 Riesling Eiswein Zeltinger Himmelreich * displays aromas eerily reminiscent of a live lobster prior to being cooked. Scents of the sea and a certain earth sweetness lead to a thick, rich, deep, and powerful core of red currants, tangy sugar-coated limes, and loads of spices. This wine has magnificent purity, sublime concentration, and massive length. It will most certainly earn an even higher score as it harmonizes with cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2050.

A mélange of quince, pear and apple aromas and flavors combine with a vibrant structure and moderate concentration in this attractive Riesling eiswein. Balanced and long, with a mouthwatering impression.
