92 Points

Tuesday, January 9, 2018 - Tasted over two days, alongside the same vintage Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett. Slightly more reticent bouquet than with the WS, though still quite loud for Kabinett, and featuring citrus, tropical, and stone fruit, with underlying metallic dustiness. Impressive focus and precision, with Graacher Himmelreich metallic dust showing prominently. The middle reveals a stronger acid profile than with the WS, which carries through a lip-smacking back, and long, inflection changing finish. Not as alluring as the WS, and perhaps not quite as concentrated, yet a more complete and rounded wine, and my preference.
