2003 & 2019 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Tasting Lot
Bid on this 2-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2003 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule (95WS, 93DC) and 1-bottle of 2019 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel Mosel (97RP). Of the 2019 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel Mosel, Wine Advocate writes: "The 2019 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese (Gold Capsule) is very clear and fine on the floral and highly delicate nose. Piquant and fresh on the palate, this is a concentrated, fresh and salty, straight and precise Auslese with concise acidity and lemon chutney notes on the piquant and grippy finish. Far too young but with the finesse and irresistible charm of the Sonnenuhr. (SR)" (10/2020)

94pts Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 31 04. This is slightly flinty at first but then quickly offers a fine bouquet of flowers, mint, yellow peach, smoke and some herbs. It is only on the palate that the richness of the wine comes through. Notes of honey, quince and melon lead to a juicy, fresh and very long finish. This is delicious and quite irresistible. 2018-2053."

Wine Spectator
“**Collectibles** 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. Drink now through 2030.” (03/2005)

Decanter
“Nearly golden in colour and offering ripe, honeyed tropical fruit aromas with hints of honey and butterscotch more than exotic, spicy botrytis. The hot, dry vintage produced a wine of lovely richness that, despite its lush, sugary weight, still managed enough of an elegant acid balance to carry it to a harmonious finish. It is undeniably pleasurable now but still has a long future ahead.(CC)” (01/2023)

96 points Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2019er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese GK is a noble-sweet wine with a comparatively rich and aromatic yet superbly complex nose of honey, pear, passion fruit, quince, dried apricot, orange peel, guava, roasted pineapple, and buttery cream. The wine is still on the sweet and honeyed side on the palate at this early stage and will clearly need more than a decade to reveal al its nuances. But the multi-layered, elegantly smooth, and rich finish already hints already at greatness to come." (10/2020)
