JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese WK 2016 (1.5L)

94 WA / 94 WS / 17.5 JR

The 2016 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese (AP 13 17) is clear, fresh and vegetal/floral on the pretty complex but clear and refreshingly flinty nose. Bottled with 8.5% alcohol, this is a lush, piquant and well-structured Spätlese with good grip and a perceptible sweetness. The finish is intense and complex and reveals a firm mineral structure. - Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate

Pure, flying like a butterfly across the palate, this starts with mineral and floral notes up front, but unfolds to show multiple layers of flavor, remaining seductive throughout. The peach, glazed pear and honey flavors are perfectly balanced, with power and force seemingly reserved. Shows wonderful expression. Drink now through 2037. 300 cases made. - AZ, Wine Spectator

Superb expressive sweetness with a steely note to give interest. Fruit in abundance, ginger and spice on the palate and a long and rich but not heavy persistence. Graceful, beautiful. - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com
