Note di degustazione
Scents of green apple wood, clover and white peach greet the nose rather tentatively. This proves an unusually angular, even slightly austere expression of its site, but also one conveying welcome invigoration as it evokes apple near the core and white peach near the pit in its combination of tang, piquancy, and subtle salinity. The feel is firm, and the finish is juicy enough to refresh, revealing a bittersweet floral note suggestive of clover and honeysuckle at the stem.

From the famous Laychen parcel, the 2017 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling GG Alte Reben is bright, clear, fine and relaxed on the subtly concentrated nose that displays aromas of perfectly ripe stone fruit intertwined with delicate slate notes. On the palate, this is a concentrated, lush, vital, crystalline, highly refined and complex Sonnenuhr with finely racy acidity, lots of energy, grip and mineral tension. This is a rich, concentrated, powerful but still refined, vital and elegant Sonnenuhr that will improve over the years in the bottle. Tasted in March and April 2019. I tasted the wine from the same bottle 11 days later, and it had improved a lot.
TA 7.4 g/l, RS 8.7 g/l. This seems to show a touch of oak on the nose, perhaps it is just spice? But it's a creamy spice that I associate with big oak. Even more noticeable on the palate, cedar and spice with ripe lemon and pear fruit. Impressive length. (JH)
