    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Schloss Lieser, Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Riesling, Kabinett, 2015

    A wild ferment note on the nose blows off to reveal fine citrus, lime and white peach. The word filigree is apt on the palate, long and taut, vital and nervy with very fine complex minerality threaded throughout- very true to the Wehlener Sonnenuhr style. Likely to be the longest lived of Thomas' Kabinetts.

    David Schildknecht, Vinous
    A cheesy fermentative residue somewhat clouds the nose, but from behind that emerge scents of fresh apple and sea breeze, anticipating the salinity, juiciness and crispness that dominate on a (for a Wehlener) surprisingly firm, lean palate. A garlanding of heliotrope and honeysuckle also runs through this entire performance, which culminates in bright, mouthwatering length. To an especially remarkable extent – though this is basically true of all the vintage 2017 Schloss Lieser Kabinetts – high residual sugar is successfully balanced out by efficacious acidity and extract. This will almost certainly be even finer in the future.
