Tasting notes
Autumnal orchard fruit, with indulgent overripeness – pear, peach, apricot. Honey and treacle, yet absolutely fresh. A remarkable stirring-pot of fruit, sweetness, acidity and intensity. So intriguing to see the complexity only just evolving. Beautiful. (RH)

Fresh and smoke-flavored, ripe, white-stone-fruit aromas along with herbal and crushed stone notes on the nose of the 2013 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese (AP #18 13) lead to a light-footed, piquant, elegant, lingering juicy and salty finish that is absolutely stimulating and reveals great complexity.
Rich and broad, opulent lime juice cocktail on the nose. Exciting and tense. But very pure at the same time too. Miraculously transparent. (JR)
