Consumed over 2 nights. Night 1 - very pleasant, creamy, not an overly powered sweetness and the acidity is well balanced. On the second night, even beter. Showing well, very drinkable now and would say for a few more years to come. Enjoyed it very much

Friday hangout at Domaine (Chicago, IL): #08-95, 7.5% abv. The cork broke and smelled like TCA, but the wine itself was mercifully not corked. An absolutely brilliant, textbook showing of this wine, with the typical notes of mature Wehlener Sonnenuhr -- that dairy creaminess that is absolutely unmistakable. Great acidity, modest sweetness, and all-round ethereal elegance. I've always been a huge fan of this vintage; this bottle was no exception.

Very strong showing here and popular with the guests. Lots of petrol on the nose. On the palate then the aromas change into lemon, quince, white flowers and minerals. Long, persistent finish. Stays off-dry, not sweet, with refreshing acidity. High drinkability, the bottle was gone in a jiffy. A textbook aged Mosel Riesling.

(Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese) Light golden yellow color; petrol, mineral, white peach nose; tart peach, mineral, petrol palate with depth; medium-plus finish
(J.J. Prüm Riesling Auslese Wehlener Sonnenuhr) Complex aromas of flint, slate, and smoke, with smoked apple, vineyard peach, and apricot on the palate. The wine shows a wonderful concentration of firm apple fruit and layered minerality on the palate. Returning to the glass, it begins to develop apricot-blossom, petrol, and intense slate aromas. The perfect balance of richness and acidity. All of J.J. Prüm’s wines are fermented with native yeast, and the Riesling is planted on 90% original rootstock. Terroir: Wehlener Sonnenuhr
(JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese) This was lovely, creamy, yet very zingy Auslese due to its incredible acid levels. The '94's in the Mosel are awesome and have wonderful high acids. This had a long finish and was on the drier sound of Auslese. Has oodles of time to go but no crime to drink it today.

Classic mature Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr, perfect balance, green-gold mineral, slight honey, lime, and cider notes, wonderful.
