Green capsule. Exactly what I wanted. Gorgeous Mosel nose of apple pie, apple phyllo dough, slate and pure Graacher lift. Palate is juicy and concentrated, with outrageous acidity and the sweetness acting textural, just a kiss, not sugary. Terrific grip, purity and mineral drive, with a lingering, juicy, dissipating finish. 2022 Mosel is in a great place.

Day two is stunning. Classic Mosel transport: rain on slate, lime Smarties, lime Sweet Tarts, cotton candy and pure vineyard air. Palate is explosive and perfectly pure, with rainwater clarity, sweet lime, Meyer lemon, huge dry extract and outrageous sapidity. Long, clinging, slate-soaked finish. Green capsule is Molitor’s sweet spot.
