JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese WK 2016 (1.5L)

94 WA / 93 WS / 16.5 JR

The 2016 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese (AP 23 17) is still discreet, floral and finely mineral rather than fruity on the nose compared to the other 2016 Spätlesen. Lush, piquant and juicy on the palate, this is a firm but sensual Sonnenuhr with remarkable finesse, lightness and lingering salinity. Tasted March 2018. - Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate

Generous fruit and ginger scent with apricot and sweet citrus on the palate. Has the extra weight that is missing from the Graacher. Tremendous nerve. - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com

Intense but lithe, with lively acidity that provides fine cut to the mango, slate and chamomile flavors. A savory mineral note stands out toward the end, with graceful floral hints lingering on the pure-tasting finish. Drink now through 2038.—A.Z., Wine Spectator
