Markus Molitor - Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese 2017
99/100
Robert Parker
The 2017 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese *** (Golden Capsule) is subtle and discreet yet concentrated and deep on the delicate nose, with notes of white peach, spicy lemon chutney, and crystalline slate. Luxurious, spicy, and silky, with very clear and elegant fruit and great finesse, this is a rich but fine and precise Wehlener Sonnenuhr with acidity that is incredibly delicate yet defined and relentless like a laser beam. This is a magnificent and already stimulating Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese of great class and style. (Wine Advocate 2019 - Stephan Reinhardt)
