Markus Molitor - Moselle Riesling Auslese ** Wehlener Sonnenuhr WC 2019
96/100
Robert Parker
Molitor's Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese ** 2019, lemon-gold in color, opens with spectacular dense and intense tropical fruit aromas that become increasingly refined and detailed and slate-like with air. It is a fascinating beauty in the making. Lively and spirited on the palate despite its richness, with a lemony note and a firm, lasting salty minerality providing structure, this full-bodied WSU is a very refined and elegant dry Auslese with an extremely stimulating finish. Although the 2019 already tastes very good, I wouldn't drink it before it's 20 or even 30 years old, simply because the wine will become even more complex. (Wine Advocate 2021)

Exceptional wine. Different from Alsatian Rieslings. Worth trying at least once.
