  5/5/2024 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 91 Points

  cinco hace sixto (rodriguez): 9.5% abv. AP 04. NOSE: rainwater meanders chirping lazy lightweight floral sensations; roses, limes, and sliced ginger bob in iced stone tea; with a curiously tender mix of citrus zest—orange, kumquat, pink lemon. (I could take over the world with a bath soap that smelled like this.) MOUTH: structure gripping with calcium, amused with lax strands of acidity, and weightless. There is no taste of sugar, really, or not until a pour rises above 63° F. The event insists on returning to a precisely earthy, appetizing bitterness, like something turned with a garden shovel in gravel. Pretty cool. Pretty unusual.

  24 hours later, it's interesting to compare this to an otherwise similar MFR Estate Riesling. One tastes like a sketch of the other. This Weh. Sonnenuhr is differentiated by it's concentration, texture, and endurance, more than by its flavor/aroma and sugar/acid character. And it tasted better yesterday, barely.
