Note di degustazione
An explosion of lilies, assorted white flowers, honeyed minerals, and pears can be found in the aromatics of the 2002 Riesling Auslese Wehlener Sonnenuhr. It is gorgeously rich, plush, fat, and densely packed with pear and apple pulp as well as hints of red fruits. This medium-bodied wine will certainly be a winner with those who crave plump Rieslings but may disappoint those who look for German wines with zest and grip.

(from cask) Ripe apple and vanilla on the nose are joined by salty, resinous, and sweet herbal accents on the palate that one doesn't particularly associate with the site. While the palate is undeniably rich, and the finish promising, this is a bit covered over by its sweetness right now and needs time to really show what it's got. 1 star.
