Very good Sonnenuhr with richness to go with the slate fruit and enough acidity to balance the sugar, not always the case with 2005s. Cellared since original release.

I’d mark this wine as a bit simple sweet, but that’s made up for the great sense of being resolved that the wine carries. It’s got a good nose, a better length, and a better still mouth. Yum.

Mid gold. Minerally, wet stone, wet slate, with some honey, a touch of petrol (but only the slightest touch), and some fresh apricot fruit. Very good attack. Some sweetness immediately evident, which carries through to the finish where it starts to fade, but it's all nicely balanced. Very pleasant drinking, but not exceptional.

Pure golden color. Showing its age, but in a good way. Still moderate petrol nose with great traditional spatlese palate. Maybe starting to show its age on the palate with less acidity and more sweetness. If I had more, I'd probably try to consume over the next year.
