" . . . Reveals at once implosive density as well as explosive cut and searing intensity such as I can’t recall from any other young Wehlener Auslese at this address. Yellow cherry and kirsch distillate; fresh lemon and apple are laced with piquant apple pip, walnut, vanilla, and lemon zest. Raw energy in its own way at least as elevated as in the corresponding Graacher is here allied to a greater diversity of flavor, including deep notes of caramel and nut oils that well up in a prodigious finish."
