96 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese AP #20 from the Prüm family is every bit as beautiful as the Himmelreich. The bouquet is the quintessence of this great terroir, offering up a complex constellation of pear, apple, white cherry, vanilla bean, a hint of honeycomb, a gorgeous base of slate and a topnote of orange blossoms. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and bouncy, with excellent acidity, laser-like focus, excellent balance and grip and a very, very long, youthful finish. This is more tightly-knit out of the blocks than the already perfectly delineated Himmelreich, but it is every bit as stunning. 2035-2100+. (Jan/Feb 2022)"
94 points Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2020er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese offers a gorgeously attractive and ripe nose of almond cream, honeyed peach, smoke, tangerine, orange zest, candied grapefruit, and apricot. The wine is luscious and proves well on the sweet side on the palate. There is presence and intensity, yet the finish is already airier and more refined than what one could initially expect. Patience will be required, as usual, for the wine to develop its full complexity and integrate all its elements. 2035-2050. (Nov 2021)"
93 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$75 list] An elegant wine, savory and succulent, with creamed pear and fleshy lychee upheld by racy acidity. Dense and layered, this is also light on its feet, with pink grapefruit adding a vibrant bitter edge. Drink now through 2040. 110 cases imported. (10/31/22)"
