Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2010
Selbach's 2009 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese trocken (which happens to be A.P. #4, and in the German market carries the superfluous nickname "Fass 4") offers a demonstration - Martin Kerpen has over the years supplied many - that its famous site is wonderfully suitable to entirely dry wine. Apple, winter pear, and sappy pineapple underlain by nut oils and wreathed in apple blossom and heliotrope inform a texturally glossy, richly-endowed, yet buoyant and refreshing performance. Bitter hints of vanilla bean and apple pip as well as wet stone lend counterpoint to a long finish. Selbach says he expects this to become more mineral in character with a few years bottle age, and I imagine it serving well for 6-8. -David Schildknecht

A crystalline version, displaying dry fresh-cut apple and green pear flavors, with notes of slate and citrus. The fresh finish features white pepper. Drink now through 2020. -KM
