2019 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel Joh. Jos. Prüm, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

Mosel Fine Wines - 2019 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel, Joh. Jos. Prüm

The 2019er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese GK is a noble-sweet wine with a comparatively rich and aromatic yet superbly complex nose of honey, pear, passion fruit, quince, dried apricot, orange peel, guava, roasted pineapple, and buttery cream. The wine is still on the sweet and honeyed side on the palate at this early stage and will clearly need more than a decade to reveal al its nuances. But the multi-layered, elegantly smooth, and rich finish already hints already at greatness to come. 2034-2069 - Nov. 2020

James Suckling - 2019 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel, Joh. Jos. Prüm

Welcome to one of the most beautiful faces of the Mosel. Essence of yellow fruit, from peach through mango to papaya. So concentrated, yet so vibrant and so pristine with such a mind-boggling number of nuances that your nervous system is pushed to the limit, in the nicest possible way. The generous sweetness is already well integrated, but this is made for the many decades to come. Drinkable now, but better from 2025. - Stuart Pigott, Sep. 2021
