Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Old Vines GG 2015 93 WE Jan20

Intensely ripe yet vibrantly balanced, this late-release dry Riesling offers luscious peach and apricot flavors dusted by shards of crushed slate. It’s showing glimpses of earthen minerality already, but zesty lemon and grapefruit acidity lend freshness. Lovely now but it should continue to improve through 2030. —A.I.
