2015 Weingut Max Ferdinand Richter Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Beerenauslese Mosel

"Picked at 155° Oechsle and made from pure raisins, the 2015 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Beerenauslese is super clear, fine, fresh and piquant on the nose, as well as super concentrated and clear, with ripe apricot aromas but all in all still a bit too reductive to be fully fascinating. Sweet, refined and lush, this is a very elegant, beautifully clear and intense BA with precise acidity and a very well defined finish with lemon and some nice bitter grapefruit flavors. Great elegance, finesse and piquancy here. It has 6% alcohol, 202 grams of residual sugar and 11.5 grams of total acidity. (375-milliliter bottles)" -Stephan Reinhardt Review Date: April 2017
