"The 1996 vintage’s electric acidity works beautifully in the realm of Auslesen, and the Wehlener Sonnenuhr bottling from Dr. Manfred Prüm is a stellar wine in the making. The young and vibrant nose offers up a superb blend of peach, orange, a lovely hint of mossiness, a superb base of slate, almond, incipient notes of honeycomb, vanilla bean and gentle smokiness in the upper register. On the palate the wine is fullish, crisp and complex, with plenty of zesty acidity, impeccable balance, great grip and a very long, focused and racy finish. This is beginning to drink very well indeed at age nineteen, but it has a long life ahead of it and there is no rush to be opening it now."
