Joh. Jos. Prum, Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule (JJ5)

Very clean and focused, with an intensity that belies its delicate profile. Wonderful aromas and flavors of apricot, flowers and slate, with pinpoint balance and a long, almost salty aftertaste. Deceptive and completely disarming in its appeal.

Joh. Jos. Prum, Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule (JJ5) 2020	99 James Suckling Staggering aromatic complexity with everything from mandarin orange through fresh mint to passion fruit and mangosteen. Super-succulent yet super-refined and precise, this must be tasted to be believed. Just keeps pumping out the fruit aromas at the super-long finish, where the passion fruit freshness is totally breathtaking. Drinkable now, but best from 2023.

Joh. Jos. Prum, Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule (JJ5) 2023	97 Vinous The 2023 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Auslese Lange Goldkapsel #19 opens with candied passion fruit and a lovely top note of pepper. The palate is a most gorgeous rendition of Reine Claude plum, peach compote and candied lemon zest, displaying a lovely texture of plum skin. The #19 is a harmonious blend of great concentration, exquisite lightness and absolute radiance.	Bottle Image Label Image Tech Sheet
