2016 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Joh. Jos. Prüm, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2016 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese, Joh. Jos. Prüm

The 2016 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese (AP 13 17) is clear, fresh and vegetal/floral on the pretty complex but clear and refreshingly flinty nose. Bottled with 8.5% alcohol, this is a lush, piquant and well-structured Spätlese with good grip and a perceptible sweetness. The finish is intense and complex and reveals a firm mineral structure. - Stephan Reinhardt, April 2018

Wine Spectator - 2016 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese, Joh. Jos. Prüm

Pure, flying like a butterfly across the palate, this starts with mineral and floral notes up front, but unfolds to show multiple layers of flavor, remaining seductive throughout. The peach, glazed pear and honey flavors are perfectly balanced, with power and force seemingly reserved. Shows nice expression. Drink now through 2037. 300 cases made. - Mai 2018

Mosel Fine Wines - 2016 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese, Joh. Jos. Prüm

This exhibits a superbly aromatic and exotic nose of mango, apricot and quince as well as quite some smoke and tar. The wine is rich and creamy as it woes one with juicy and mouth-coating flavors of pear, grapefruit and honeyed apricot on the palate. The rich and intense finish is all about honeyed and fruity flavors. This rich Auslese from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr will require patience as it will need quite some time to fully integrate its elements. 2031-2056 - Okt. 2017
