Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Riesling Auslese, Goldkapsel, 2005
justerini & brooks tasting note
A deeply concentrated, rich but perfectly balanced Riesling, acacia honey and stone fruit flavours dominate with citrus suggestions, this is vast and multi layered but harmonious, gradually revealing greater mineral complexity with aeration. One to lay down.

96/100Joel Payne,Vinous
(auction wine) Golden yellow. Christmas fruitcake with nectarine, white raisin and pure botrytis on the nose. High-toned, creamy and rich, with flavors of apricot nectar, fine slate and brown spices, with an elegant floral element. A sublime touch of botrytis adds complexity to the long, mineral finish.This is one of the finest ausleses of the vintage.
