    I bought this at Wilburs for $25 years ago. Maybe 2010?

    Color. Yellow green. Still really youthful looking.

    Nose. Limes, slate, petroleum, honey.

    Palate. Apples, limes, apple skins, short finish.

    -- tasted non-blind over 2 - 3 hrs. --
    -- AP No.: ... 11 08 --

    NOSE: "green" petrol; papaya and concentrated watermelon; expressive.

    BODY: medium gold color; full bodied.

    TASTE: mango; low acid; candied ginger; dried apricot; 8.5% alc. hidden; poooooooosssssibly a touch of botrytis. Quite tasty, for sure, but I'm concerned with the low acidity --- this might be a WS Spat. to drink earlier than is typical --- if not that, maybe I've caught this at an awkward in-between stage --- five more bottles await in the cellar, so I'll eventually find out. Drink or Hold.

    During a GE/AUT blind tasting. We had the 1996, 2005 and 2007 in a flight next to each other. All of them showed really well. The 1996 had the most complex tertiary nose with lots of Lychee aromas, the 2005 was the richest, with lots of layers of lemon and yellow fruit and the 2007 the lightest with the most precision. It was really a matter of taste which one you liked the most. I scored all of them 95-96. Spätlese at its best.

    - Blind, GE/AUT tasting
    - Three Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese were served.

    1996:
    - floral, quince, honey but so lean and simply elegant and so complex but still precise. Has enough fullness and sweetness but balanced with a great acidity. Probably one of the best white wines I have drunk so far.
    - 96p

    2005:
    - Riper and more quince and honey, more body and beautiful stony flavours. Compared to the other two, the most intense Prüm.
    - 95p

    2007:
    - Aroma profile similar to the other two but leanest and most precise.
    - 94p

    (J.J. Prüm Riesling Spätlese Wehlener Sonnenuhr) Aromas of smoke and gunflint, grilled apples, and wonderfully integrated minerality. Piercing green-apple flavors, followed by some white peach and even lime. This wine has richness, but is remarkably linear, with pretty, balanced acidity. I asked Katharina Prüm if she thought “smoke” was a good descriptor for the aroma of slate, but she replied that a smoky character was more likely the result of a warmer vintage. Terroir: Wehlener Sonnenuhr

    (JJ Prum W-S Spatlese) 2007 JJ Prum Dear Friends, Based on the order requests for the 2007 JJ Prum W-S Kabinett, I'm almost hesitant to put this out - it's the flagship of the winery and (in my opinion) the finest non-GK wine JJ Prum has produced since the 2001. There are bizarre levels of allocation pressure with Prum's 2007 portfolio and the emerging markets of China (Hong Kong) and Russia have left the US firmly in the background - when someone is willing to pay anything for your wine, it's tough to ignore them. With that in mind, there are very few cases of 2007 Prum W-S Spatlese this year so please be patient with Niki - she will do her best to allocate fairly. The 2007 W-S Spatlese pretty much sums up the vintage - it is tactile, stone-filled and piquant with near-perfect levels of buffering, clean, terroir specific extract that leave vintages such as 2003, 2005 and 2006 firmly in the rearview mirror. An effort that should repay the patient in a similar way to 1975. EXTREMELY LIMITED 2007 JJ Prum Wehlener-Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Germ7910
