Tasting notes
Pure fresh apple and pear are wreathed in honeysuckle, rowan blossom, and heliotrope on a head-turningly heady nose and creamy, expansive yet buoyant and juicy palate. Hints of nutmeg and vanilla complement the wine’s sense of creaminess on a long finish that nevertheless displays vibrant animation and transparency to stony and floral nuances. Nor does this beauty forget Riesling’s first duty to refresh. I wouldn’t be surprised if my prognosis of ageability were to prove too conservative.

The 2015 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett (Golden Capsule) opens with beautifully clear, super ripe, aromatic and mouth-watering tropical fruit on the nose. On the palate, this is a lush but highly finessed and delicate Sonnenuhr with super fine and ripe acidity and a crystalline texture. This is a gorgeously sensual and exotic Kabinett in perfect balance. Probably there has been no Sonnenuhr Kabinett produced in 2015 that is more attractive than this.

Lovely peachy fruit and a ton of freshness to keep the sweetness in check. A great sipping wine, even if it isn't so hot that you need this great refreshment. Jun 2017, www.jamessuckling.com
