Thomas Haag's botrytis-free 2016 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese offers a deep, very ripe and finely smoky bouquet. Lush, round and intense, with generous sweetness and a touch of caramel, this is nevertheless a very fine and elegant Auslese with stewed apple flavors, intense and mouth-coating fruit as well as delicate salinity and mineral freshness in the crystalline and slightly piquant finish. Due to the richness and sweetness of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr, I'd prefer the highly delicate and filigreed Helden Auslese at the moment and probably during the next 10 years.
