2018 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 1 Joh. Jos. Prüm, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer (0,75l)

Mosel Fine Wines - 2018 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 1, Joh. Jos. Prüm

The 2018er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett offers a delicately creamy nose made of cassis, floral elements, apricot, and chalky minerals. The wine proves delicately tickly on the overall creamy and quite playful palate, and leaves a nice feel of passion fruit, melon, herbs, and a touch of cardamom in the long and superbly elegant finish. The sweetness is already nicely integrated. 2023-2033. - Okt. 2019

Vinous - 2018 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 1, Joh. Jos. Prüm

Heady scents of honeysuckle and heliotrope mingle with apple, quince and Persian melon. Succulent fruitiness and wafting perfume are complemented by a creamy feel on the delicate palate. Subtle nuttiness and discreet fruit seed piquancy serve for stimulating counterpoint, leading into a lusciously lingering, slate-lined finish. The exuberantly juicy, vibrant, bell-clear finish offers a lightly shimmering suggestion of fruit/stone interplay. At any given Prädikat level, the Prüms’ offering from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr – while in the long run often “best of show” – can frequently prove less expressive in its first year, but such is definitely not the case here! - David Schildknecht, Aug. 2020
