Simply a brilliant Spätlese in a wonderful spot for early drinking at eight years of age, this 2016 Wehlener Sonnenuhr from S. A. Prum is a lighter example of the Prädikat, with a playful balance of apricots, nectarines and chamomile and zesty acidity that features limes and bitter orange. It produces a lovely harmony on the palate that serves as a reminder of how brilliant a style Spätlese can be in balancing Riesling’s acidity with its propensity toward a sweeter style. Lovely stuff. — 3 months ago

Would score a perfect 10 if not for the price. Big stone fruit. Great with spicy food. — 3 months ago
One of my reps had this on closeout. Delicious, 11 year old Mosel Riesling. Lots of petrol;, ripe peach, apple and apricot. Great acidity. — 5 months ago
This is less sweet, and more straightforward, than the 2001 JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese we drank recently, this is moderately sweet, nicely balanced, but the separator from the 2001 is the layers of depth and complexity of the 2001, although this is still quite good!! — 2 months ago
Ripe golden fruit balanced by a whisper of acid — 3 months ago

Drank this bottle over a week, no decline whatsoever. Cristal clear, lemony saltiness, all about finesse and balance. One can cellar this for at least 10 years to come. — 21 days ago
