Robert Parker
"Molitor's lemon-gold Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese ** 2019 opens with spectacular dense, intense tropical fruit aromas that become increasingly fine and detailed and slatey with air. A fascinating beauty in the making. Lively and dashing on the palate despite its richness and with a lemony note and a firm, enduringly salty mineral grip for structure, this full-bodied WSU is a highly refined, elegant dry Auslese with an extremely stimulating finish. Although the 2019 already tastes very good, I wouldn't drink it until it's 20 or even 30 years old, simply because the wine will become even more complex." (Wine Advocate 2021)

About the wine:
Molitor's 2019 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese ** (white capsule), lemon-gold in color, opens with spectacular dense, intense aromas of tropical fruit that become increasingly fine and detailed and slatey with air. A fascinating beauty in the making. Lively and dashing on the palate despite its richness and with a lemony note and a firm, lastingly salty mineral grip for structure, this full-bodied WSU is a highly refined, elegant dry Auslese with an extremely stimulating finish. Although the 2019 already tastes very good, I wouldn't drink it until it's 20 or even 30 years old, simply because the wine will become even more complex.
