Dr Loosen - Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Trocken 2017
96/100
Robert Parker
The Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling GG Alte Reben 2017 is brilliant, clear, refined, and relaxed on the nose, with subtle concentration displaying aromas of perfectly ripe stone fruit intertwined with delicate notes of slate. On the palate, it is a concentrated, lush, dynamic, crystalline, highly refined and complex Sonnenuhr with finely racy acidity, lots of energy, grip and mineral tension." (Wine Advocate 2020)

About wine:
From the famous Laychen vineyard, the 2017 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling GG Alte Reben is bright, clear, refined, and relaxed, with a subtly concentrated nose displaying aromas of perfectly ripe stone fruits intertwined with delicate notes of slate. On the palate, it is a concentrated, lush, dynamic, crystalline, highly refined, and complex Sonnenuhr with finely racy acidity, lots of energy, grip, and mineral tension. It is a rich, concentrated, powerful but still refined, dynamic, and elegant Sonnenuhr that will improve with years of bottle aging. Tasted in March and April 2019. I tasted the wine from the same bottle 11 days later, and it had opened up considerably.
