The 1988 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese was intended to end up as dry wine but stopped at 38 grams of unfermented sugar. Chamomile flavors on the nose lead to a lean, fresh and herbal-flavored palate that is as round as it is piquant and mineral. It's a delicate yet tightly woven and perhaps even slightly rustic wine with a touch of petrol flavors. This is an Auslese to enjoy with food rather than to adore it without. Tasted October 2017.
