93+ The 2002 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese AP #13 remains quite a youthful wine at age eleven, but it shares the structurally promiscuity of the vintage and is really quite approachable already. The bouquet is a youthful and very pretty blend of pears, apples, orange zest, petrol, a lovely base of slate and blossoming notes of honeycomb in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, medium-full and very pure, with beautiful balance and nascent complexity, a fine core, bright, zesty acids and excellent focus and grip on the very long and dancing finish. It is still very early days for this lovely wine, but it is blossoming in a most promising manner and should be superb for decades to come.
