Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett Riesling

Right in the perfect, fine dining drinking window at 17 years. Crystalline details.

2011. Full package for Mosel. Nice depth of fruit. Certainly has ripe apricot and lime rind and candied orange slices, licorice and only hints of slate-petrol notes. Palate is med-light with pretty length and brightness from acid and CO2. Maybe I got lucky in comparison to others.

Pale straw with greenish hue. Intense, complex aromatics exhibit tangerine, fresh sliced lemon, apricot, honeysuckle, subtle graphite, white pepper, and ginger. Excellent balance, light weight, off dry, juicy, Lang lasting acid is slow to emerge. Long finish is a complex fruit basket of flavor. 9% abv is a non factor. Excellent value $15

One of my reps had this on closeout. Delicious, 11 year old Mosel Riesling. Lots of petrol;, ripe peach, apple and apricot. Great acidity.

Pear, tart apple, tasted low acidity (slight effervescence), dry (for a Riesling), honeysuckle.

Man this goes down like juice. Low ABV, ripe red apple, petrol, lemon, high acid. $23

Not shitty.

Gentile waxy aromas with notes of white flowers and just a hint of white peach. Juicy on the palate with soft sweetness balanced by crisp, fresh acidity. Flavors of peach and apricot lead to a bright, slightly stony finish with minerality that dances on the tongue.

Green apricots & watermelon rind with a light touch of honey. Nice for dessert, yet doesn't compete.
