2022 Joh Jos Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese

96 POINTS

Stuart Pigott - JamesSuckling.com

Here’s a very classic Mosel Spatlese with exactly the combination of richness, elegance and delicacy that makes this category unique. Such delicate white peach and sliced pear, rose and honeysuckle aromas. Very long finish that is as succulent as it is refined. You just want to linger there for as long as you can.

Tasted young, this sprightly spätlese announces itself with strikes of flint and an intensely smoky, earthen veil of reduction. With a bit of time and aeration (even 15 minutes introduces a remarkable transformation) you'll find deep, dazzling layers of crisp white peach, lime and lemongrass speckled with salt and stone. It's a leaner expression of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr, with a delicacy of texture that juxtaposes a piercing, pure fruit profile. A thirst-quenching sip with just a hint of sweetness that lingers on the finish. Hold until 2026 if possible, it will develop stunningly for decades.

This is quite round and very supple, with a vibrant structure supporting the flat peach, bergamot and sage honey flavors. It shows great clarity and expression with a subtle, yet long, kaleidoscope aftertaste. It is firm and remains like that even with plenty of air, so this is another one for the cellar. Best after 2030.
