Tasting notes
Magnum. Deep honeyed nose. Rich and waxy nose. The sweetness was much more pronounced than in the J J Prum 1996 served alongside. Very satisfying for the moment. Charming and refreshing. (JR)

Apples, pears, and raspberries burst from the glass of the 2001 Riesling Auslese Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Light to medium-bodied and velvety-textured, this is a thick Riesling packed with red berries. Its plush character leads to a long, expressive finish studded with orange peels, cherries, and tangy limes. Projected maturity: 2006-2017. Importers: Classic Wine Imports, Boston, MA; tel.
