Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese ** Trocken 2019 Markus Molitor

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (96)

Molitor's lemon-golden colored 2019 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese ** (White Capsule) opens with a spectacular dense and intense tropical fruit aroma that becomes finer and finer and more detailed and slatey with air. This is a fascinating beauty in the making. Lively and frisky on the palate despite its richness and with a lemon flavor and firm and sustainably salty mineral grip for structure, this full-bodied WSU is a highly refined and elegant dry Auslese with an extremely stimulating finish. Although the 2019 already tastes very well, I wouldn’t drink it before it's 20 or even 30 years old, simply because the wine will become even more complex. Tasted from AP 165 20 in June 2021.
