(J.J. Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese) This was absolutely mindbogglingly good. Past it's full blown petrol phase and in its wispy hint of petrol phase this was just perfect. From a so-so vintage with high acid this just proves that old German wine from so-so vintages just gets better and better. This had aromas of petrol, lime, lemon, apple skins, pear flesh, some flowers and even an exotic hint of confectionary sugar after some decantation. The palate had wonderful acidity, fleshy fruit, a healthy dose of mineral and surprisingly great concentration. Long finish. Stellar wine from an off year.

(J.J. Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese) Complex nose of scallions and petrol, apple-spice, lemon curd and honey. Great concentration and ripeness with yellow and star fruits abounding on the finish. Great aged Spatlese.

Same as last bottle. Pretty sure these weren't treated well before they got to me. Shame.

I have two bottles. This is the first one opened. Either not the greatest of storage, or 81 just showing it's age and wasn't that spectacular to begin. Nose is great. That Prum Wehlener slate and something past petrol. However, on the palate its just tired and kind of flabby. Drinkable, for the sake of science and curiosity, but not great at this point. We'll see how the other bottle does in the near future.

两天。似乎有过heat damage，瓶子有点粘，塞子一点凸。塞子很松。但是问喝都没问题。
颜色很深，有老酒的微氧化/苦的味道。riesling的酸和香都在。还不错，但也没有好到哪里去。

White fruit (strong green apple, slight citrus), floral, good acidity. Slight petrol. Nice sugar. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.

Rieslingfeier - Collector's Dinner (Eleven Madison Park, NYC): Seems to pick up where the Kabinett left off; the same complex, mature Mosel flavours and sense of harmony, and again such elegance and lightness on the palate. This is a little deeper and broader than the Kabinett, yet again so precise, delicate and thrilling to drink.
