This is quite round and very supple, with a vibrant structure supporting the flat peach, bergamot and sage honey flavors. It shows great clarity and expression with a subtle, yet long, kaleidoscope aftertaste. It is firm and remains like that even with plenty of air, so this is another one for the cellar. Best after 2030.

The Wehlener Sonnenuhr is a steep, rocky vineyard known to produce some of the most elegant and refined white wines in the world and The Prum Spatlese is a prime example. This is another level of intensity and sweetness above the Kabinett level. The attack is richer with fine citrus on the front end mixed with ginger, orange, and apricot that flood the palate with volume and viscosity before the acidity, minerality, finesse, and floral notes pull the wine back toward a linear finish. Intensity and elegance all in one bottle, this is one fine complex riesling that will live for decades.
