May 13, 2016 - Clear, medium gold hue. Medium intensity of orange peel, white Peach, lime, baked peaches, petrol and nectarines. Off-key medium plus body, low acidity with flavors complexity and balance. Low alcohol. Honey dipped apples, dried mango, ginger, slate and a rubber note. I thought this was excellent representation of German riesling. Almost more of a auslese rather then a Spätlese. Besides that, the wine is delicious. Good qpr.

May 19, 2013 - Very lime-heavy profile, extremely delicious but lacking seriousness or concentration. Quite short, too. Brilliant drinking in the near term.

2012 German Catalog, 6/1/2012 (link)(Meulenhof Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese) ($22.00) Hail in Wehlen also; the wine has the fruit and fragrance I expect – or most of it – but the slate and lime are subdued, and this cask-sample is phenolically pronounced. I’m going to trust the richness of fruit, but will be eager to taste it again.
