2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese Joh. Jos. Prüm, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese, Joh. Jos. Prüm

The 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese is pure, bright and fresh on the flinty and slightly reductive nose that reveals intense lemon as well as some coolish vegetal aromas. Crystalline and refined on the palate, this is an intense, complex and mouth-tickling Sonnenuhr Spätlese with remarkable purity, savoriness and lemon freshness on the finish. This is a light but substantial, dense and structured WSU that will benefit from further bottle aging, The phenols are still quite prominent here, but aeration will help to oxidize and integrate them. 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2023. - Stephan Reinhardt, Mai 2023

Mosel Fine Wines - 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese, Joh. Jos. Prüm

The 2021er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is really restrained and almost non-saying at this early stage, but already hints at the complexity to come as it reveals after a few minutes very delicate notes of whipped almond cream, lily flowers, vineyard peach, minty herbs, smoke, candied grapefruit, and quite some fine spices. The wine proves creamy yet intense and dynamic on the palate. It proves very focused and already hugely long. This will need quite some time to reveal all its facets, but the potential is immense. 2034-2056. - Dez. 2022
