2018 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese

Yeasty and matchstick notes currently distract from scents of candied apple, white peach preserves and decadent lily. The palate is strikingly creamy and billowingly floral, with sweetness and a kiss of vanilla reinforcing both that florality and the extreme ripeness of fruit. And like a number of the best wines in the present collection, this reveals unexpected sheer juiciness as well as striking delicacy on its buoyant, luscious finish. This is going to become truly superb once the nose clears.
