2022 Jos. Jos. Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett


Germany
The Joh. Jos. Prüm (J.J. Prüm) winery, located in Germany's Mosel region, is one of the most revered names in the world of Riesling
2022 Jos. Jos. Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett...$73.99
Here is a great Mosel Kabinett that needs a bit more time to show what it is really made of. Still very young with a pronounced yeasty character that slowly recedes with aeration, but the white peach and honeysuckle aromas that emerge are stunning. Extremely vibrant and precise, the slatey acidity making this fabulously graceful. As pure as an Alpine stream running with glacier water. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.
Rated 96/100 James Suckling
This vibrantly peachy, salt-licked kabinett requires just a few minutes of aeration to peel back the layers of smoke and slate that may obscure its fragrant, abundantly fruity style. Just a shade off-dry, it's a piercing, laser-edged sip of cut stone, bracing white peach, and lemon and lime flavours. Lacy in texture but lifted and searing, the finish is harmoniously dry and meanders on veins of salt and gunpowder. A thrilling, complex yet irresistibly youthful wine that's ready now with a decant but sure to reward cellaring as well.
Rated 95/100 Decanter Magazine
