"Hefig und balsamisch-würzig im Duft, viel Schiefer im Duft und dazu eher kräuterwürzige als fruchtige Aromen. Im Mund rund und geschmeidig, mittelgewichtig im Extrakt, reife Säure, zurückhaltend eingesetzte, schmelzige Süße. Ein Nasenwein."

"Still very youthful in terms of its profile and destiny. Dominant white peach aromatics with some flinty note shine through. The palate feel is rich, intense and precise. Extrordinary balance is achieved by its full-ish body and smooth texture, with its remarkably vibrant acidity. The wine is firm, expressive, solid yet not too showy. A grand wine with very long aging potential."

"Zitronenblüte, fein und reif, seidige Süße, Kohlensäure-frisch, feinnervige Säure, leichtgewichtige Anmutung bei mittelgewichtigem Extrakt, betonte Frische, mineralisches Spiel, im Abgang eine Schicht Geschmeidigkeit hinter der saftigen Struktur."

"Im Bouquet frisch und floral, animierendes Aromenspiel zwischen knackiger (Apfel, Limette) und exotischer (Passionsfrucht, Maracuja) Frucht, dazu etwas junge Aprikose, Wiesenblumen und eine klare Schieferwürze. Im Gaumen trotz der Fruchtkonzentration sehr schlank und filigran, hat viel Spiel und eine straffe Säure, wirkt sehr harmonisch und nie Fett oder überreif, zeigt eine gute Komplexität mit Noten von Karamell, Honigmelone, Aprikose und Kardamom. Langer, aromatischer Abgang. Auch wenn es einem schwer fällt: wer jetzt eine Flasche davon öffnet, sollte diese nicht am gleichen Abend fertig trinken. Also Korken wieder drauf, den kompletten Trinkspass gibt es dann am Folgetag! Jetzt bis 2033, 18vvPunkte (91/100)"

"Noch geradezu jugendlich-hefig, Mandel, aber auch kräuterwürzige Rieslingnoten, am Gaumen weich geschmolzen, intesiv süß, aber auch mit kerniger Säure, gut aromatisch dotiert, pointiert, mineralisch, kraftvoll. - Martin Kilchmann, Peter Moser, Ulrich Sautter - Sautter, Ulrich"

"A tight-knitted core of acidity and minerality intensifies sweet white peach and honey flavors in this semidry Riesling. It's simultaneously bracing yet lush, with darting notes of saffron and lime zest on the finish."

"Kräuterduft, Darjeeling-Tee, Guave, Zitronenmelisse, rauchig-schiefrig. Großer Spannungsbogen, dezente und dennoch volumengebende Süße, Nerv, mineralische Spur, stoffige Reserven, natürliche Anmutung."

"Vielschichtiger Duft von reifen gelben, auch tropischen Früchten. Rauchige Würze. Verführerisch am Gaumen, opulent, dabei feingliedriger Saft von Pfirsich und Mandarine. Vibrierende, mineralisch geprägte Säure. Perfekt gesetzte Bitternote im Ausklang. Mundwässernd."

"Kräftiges, klares Gelb. Mineralisch-rauchig geprägte Nase mit kühler, schieferiger Eisenoxid Ader. Am Gaumen pikant und mineralisch, wiederum stark vom Schiefer geprägt, herrlich salzig, brillante Säurestruktur, aristokratisch, absolut animierend und bis in den Nachklang hinein pikant und frisch bleibend. Nobel und gestochen klar."

"Intense minerality permeates through this medium-sweet Riesling, adding steely dimension to rich, ripe yellow peach and apricot flavors. The finish lingers long on the palate--a fascinating counterplay of waxy honeycomb notes with a drying black-tea astringency."
yr. 2008 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Markus Molitor Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese" from the vintage 2008 on 01.01.2010 with 92 of 100 points.
"Truly stunning, this white starts out with subtle talcum powder and gravel notes, then adds intense perfume and peaches in the mouth. There's a finely tuned balance and good length. Exceptional harmony and intensity suggest it will improve for 15 years or more."
yr. 2005 Wine Enthusiast:
91 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Markus Molitor Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese" from the vintage 2005 on 01.01.2007 with 91 of 100 points.
"Broad, mouthfilling and weighty, this is an atypically rich spätlese, but one that delivers a dizzying array of aromas and flavors. Diesel and mineral oil notes provide gravitas, while lime zest adds spark. Ripe melon, baked apple and powdered cinnamon round out the chassis of this low-rider. Imported by Schmitt-Sohne Inc."
yr. 2000 Tom Cannavan:
87 of 100 Points.
"Tom Cannavan" has rated the wine "Markus Molitor Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese" from the vintage 2000 on 01.01.2003 with 87 of 100 points.
"(2003) Note this was a 2000 vintage wine. Very pale yellow/green. Developing a waxy, schisty quality, though just a touch of sulphur too. beautiful palate: sweet-edged and lush, with clean melon and apple fruit. Very clean and composed and quite long, there is a good fruit purity, though no great complexity at this stage."
yr. 2002 Wine Enthusiast:
91 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Markus Molitor Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese" from the vintage 2002 with 91 of 100 points.
"Intensely minerally, this wine features an avalanche of stony flavors supported by baked apple notes for softness, and fresh-squeezed limes for backbone. Hints of diesel and oil shale dominate the nose. It's richly textured--almost chewy--yet crisp on the finish. Drink now-2010."
