Markus Molitor 2013 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr 750ml

Critical Acclaim:

The 2013 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is another example for the radical selection of ripe and healthy grapes during the nerve-jangling autumn of 2013. The nose displays the typical, cool, grey and smoky slate aromas of the famous site, which is mingled with precise ripe Riesling flavors and refreshing citrus aromas. Enormously juicy on the palate, but by no means opulent, too sweet or powerful, this Sonnenuhr Spätlese is remarkable and extremely delicate as well as elegant. Perfectly balanced, it finishes with a stimulating piquancy and a lingering complexity.  Score: 94 points -- Wine Advocate, Feb 2015

Apricot, clove, pine nuts and lemon oil on the captivating nose. Alluring tropical fruit flavors are nicely balanced by crisp, clear, spicy acidity. With its very long, refreshing finish, this enchanting Riesling is one of the great Spätleses of the vintage. Score: 93 points -- Vinous, Sep 2014
