2018 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 4 Joh. Jos. Prüm, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer (1,5l)

Vinous - 2018 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 4, 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
