1999 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (1/20/2023)
After a corked 1998 WS Auslese I quickly grabbed this as a replacement. It needed some air, but then who doesn’t after more than twenty years trapped in a bottle. With about an hour of air it showed all the tropical and ripe peach fruit I was expecting, with only a little bit of brown sugar glaze from age. Not a bottle for acid fanatics, but there’s a serenity and grace to the wine, a beauty. It’s quite compelling, and very, very Prüm.
