98 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "From a very young and very old part of the cru, the 2019 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese *** –42– is the pre-selection of the TBA, and the grapes weighed in at 145° Oechsle. The lime- and lemon-tinged, very intense and aromatic bouquet is amazingly fine, fresh and pure on the nose, displaying ripe stone fruit and pineapple aromas intermixed with the flinty and spicy notes of the specific slate soils in the WSU. Based on 70% to 80% botrytis grapes, this is a sweet yet highly refined and piquant Beerenauslese sold as a three-starred or "highly finessed" Auslese. This is a really delicate and promising Sonnenuhr of great class and style, with lingering and stimulating finesse and salinity. Fabulous. Tasted at the domain in September 2020. Drink: 2030-2080. (Oct 2020)"
97 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "A breathtaking Auslese with a cornucopia of exotic fruit, flowers and herbs. Packed with super ripe fruit, but so bright and precise with great energy. Hard to resist this combination of tropical seduction and uplifting freshness. Drink or hold. (4/12/21)"
