Schloss Lieser Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Grosses Gewächs 2018

95 points Mosel Fine Wines: “AP: 32 19. The 2018er Sonnenuhr Riesling GG, as it is referred to on the consumer label, is a bone-dry wine (with less than 3 g/l of residual sugar). It comes over as steely and reductive at this early stage and only gradually reveals some deep and complex scents of smoked bacon, dried white flowers, spices and minty herbs. The wine starts off on the light and mineral side on the pure and zesty palate. It then develops great presence and a superbly zesty and smoky side, which carries over right into the immensely long, beautifully tart and superbly mouth-watering finish. The length is stunning and the after-taste, while powerful and assertive, shines through its aromatic precision and focus. This is a stunningly elegant expression of dry Mosel Riesling in the making. 2025-2038. (Oct 2019)”

18.5/20 points Michael Schmidt (JancisRobinson.com): “A very fresh fragrance of green fruit and green mint inspires the olfactory perception. The 2018 trademark of rich texture is not missing, but perfectly balanced by cool minerality and the bite of crunchy green fruit and sappy herbs. Rock salt on the finish adds a firm edge. Drink: 2021-2030. (8/26/19)”
