Joh. Jos Prüm is one of the finest Mosel estates and is amongst the most venerated producers of Riesling in the world. From the 2017 vintage, this is an exceptional release from the revered Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard. Stone fruit and green apple, with mineral, smoky complexity and mouthwatering acidity, lending balance to the residual sugar of this later-harvested Spätlese style.
94 Vinous
Dusty and yeasty notes do not interfere significantly with a transmission of fresh but ultra-concentrated pear and quince, laced with heliotrope and honeysuckle. A welcome influx of grapefruit serves for brightness and zest on an otherwise creamy as well as delicate palate, leading to a finish impeccably balanced in sweetness and vibrantly as well as lusciously persistent. (There is also an auctioned bottling of Sonnenuhr Auslese – A.P. #20 – which I have not tasted.)David Schildknecht1st January 2020

Oranges, almost marmalade peel on the nose. Bit of smoke, but just a faint trail. Intense, nervous, fingernails pressed white with tension. And then pebbles dipped in peach juice. Both hard and soft, tightly wired and free – a compelling, teasing ambiguity. (TC)
