Very very hot in August and then a chilly September. Just as things were looking bad, a gloriously hot October saved the day. Medium gold. Mineral dusting over delicious lime and apple and green mango fruit. Super fresh, agile, lithe, crackling with energy and acidity and verve. Lots of green apple. Racy. No waiting in the wings here. It explodes on to the stage. Dances in the limelight. Tastes like it will last forever. Wonderful! (TC)

Lots of sulphur dioxide and still very hidden, reticent flavours. Quite opulent mango underneath. Slight honey notes, but miraculously light and crystalline. (JR)

Score 91/100 · Drink 2004-2015, Pierre Rovani, Dec 2002

Complex aromas of honeyed minerals, slate, and red fruits can be discerned in the nose of the 2001 Riesling Auslese Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Medium-bodied, this is a deep, pure, and powerful wine with outstanding depth, concentration and length. Candied red currants dominate this well-strewn offering's luscious yet delineated character. Projected maturity: 2004-2015. Importer: A Rudi Wiest Selection, Cellar International, Inc., Carlsbad, CA; tel. (760) 753-4244
