94 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "These are the oldest vines that the estate owns, planted in the nineteenth century and located directly under the sundial in the Sonnenuhr. The wine is youthful and an absolute classic in the making, offering up a nascently complex bouquet of pear, white cherries, vanilla bean, slate, wild yeasts, bee pollen and a floral topnote redolent of orange blossoms. On the palate the wine is medium-full, bright and soil-driven, with a good core, fine bounce and grip and a long, zesty and very classy finish. This has a beautiful kiss of fruit on the attack and impressive backend mineral drive. 2024-2060. (Mar/Apr 2019)"
93 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 18 19. The 2018er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese was made from clean grapes harvested at a full 95° Oechsle, and was fermented down to fully sweet levels of residual sugar (95 g/l). It offers a beautiful nose of bitter lemon, mirabelle, laurel and whipped cream. The wine delivers nice flavors of pear, ginger, Provence herbs, cream and herbs, and leaves the beautifully racy but unctuous structure of an Auslese in the finish. It remains beautifully playful in the after-taste. 2028-2048. (Aug 2019)"
