 | | Qty=3Size=750 ml, RP[95-96]"Each of the lots presented to me on this occasion had been chosen with uncanny insight to occupy its particular place in the Prum scheme, representing a steady increase in quality that did not stop when one came to a 2005 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese Gold Capsule A.P.#23, also destined to be auctioned. The nose exhibits a degree of botrytis ennoblement honey, hints of white raisin, and apple jelly as well as an oily-rich texture typical of Beerenauslese. But this too draws on a reservoir of bright, juicy, fresh fruit. Mango, pineapple, caramelized apple, apricot preserve, vanilla, white raisin, warm honey, and brown spice all contribute to the abundant richness on display here, yet there are fine notes of flowers and mineral salts and a lovely sense of lift despite such far-gone ripeness, botrytis, and sheer density as this likely 50-year wine displays. This fruit exhibited a fresh botrytis, says Prum, which he associates with its managing while strikingly ripe and viscous never to become at all broad, fat, or obvious." - David Schildknecht, robertparker.com (Feb 27, 2007) |
