WTN: 2001 J. J. Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese

We opened a bottle of this from my parents cellar for Christmas dinner. Exactly three years to the day from the last bottle from the same source, the note still applies in full. It is reposted below.

2001 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (12/25/2013)
A bottle from my parents' cellar, so not quite as glacial storage as my own. That said the wine was spectacular, displaying perfect focus, vibrant fruit, bracing acidity, and an emerging smoky petrol note that signaled something beyond mere vinous adolesence. 3 hours of air, and the wine barely budged, so it is not going anywhere quickly. Great Riesling here, that demonstrates the quality of the producer, site and vintage. (95 pts.)
