1996 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett

Bid on this bottle of 1996 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett. Drawn from the legendarily steep, south-facing Wehlener Sonnenuhr — weathered devon slate on a gradient of up to 70%, in a Mosel site ranked among the world's greatest vineyards — this bottle from Manfred Prüm, Gault-Millau's 1996 Winemaker of the Year, has had nearly three decades to develop. At this stage of maturity it shows the complex tertiary character the estate's Kabinetts are famous for, with layered lychee notes joining the classic stone fruit, fine minerality and remarkable depth and length that emerge with extended bottle age. A benchmark of German Riesling's flawless track record for longevity.
