"The 2017 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese seemed to be on perfect form after bottling, so I did not score this one in a range. It is a beautiful example of the vintage, wafting from the glass in a classic aromatic constellation of pear, cherries, vanilla bean, bee pollen, a very complex base of slate and a topnote of spring flowers. On the palate the wine is pure, medium-full, very long and zesty, with laser-like focus, great grip and backend bounce, zesty acids and a very, very long, complex and transparent finish. A great Spätlese."
