"Very clean and focused, with an intensity that belies its delicate profile. Wonderful aromas and flavors of apricot, flowers and slate, with pinpoint balance and a long, almost salty aftertaste. Deceptive and completely disarming in its appeal. Drink now through 2030. (3/31/05)"

"AP: 31 04. This is slightly flinty at first but then quickly offers a fine bouquet of flowers, mint, yellow peach, smoke and some herbs. It is only on the palate that the richness of the wine comes through. Notes of honey, quince and melon lead to a juicy, fresh and very long finish. This is delicious and quite irresistible. 2018-2053. (Mar 2013)"

"This 2003 Goldkapsel Auslese from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr, AP #9, spent three and a half to four years in tank prior to its bottling in 2007. This is a beautiful wine, showing more complexity and refinement than the regular Auslese from this year. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a sophisticated mix of apple, pear, peach, bee pollen, violets, salty minerality and just a touch of honeycomb. On the palate the wine is crisp, fullish and focused, with lovely acids (particularly for 2003), a sense of filigree that is not particularly emblematic of the vintage and lovely length and grip on the complex and light on its feet finish. 2020-2060. (Mar/Apr 2018)"
