Description

"Any vintage of this great wine will do, although don't open it too young. The fruit is incredibly pure. Very intense and long, with unbelievable sky-high acidity. The closest thing to Mozart in a bottle. Outstanding"
19.5/20 Decanter Magazine (2005)

"...this 1988 Riesling Auslese from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard, vinified and bottled by Manfred Prüm of the Joh. Jos. Prüm estate, has quite a rich and yellow-gold hue in the glass, although it still has a very bright character. The nose is wonderfully pure, very dense and full of limes and minerals, especially the latter which have a fine, chalky, flinty, dusty character. The palate has a lovely flesh which coats the mouth, before yielding flavours of lime, honey, crushed rocks and more. It is remarkable to reflect on the age of this wine; it has such overt freshness and vivacity, I suspect someone tasting this blind would guess its age to be considerably less than two decades. On the finish it shows a delightfully complete composition, with fine acidity carrying along the substance of the wine. There is lots of character here, plenty of depth and through to the finish a real character. I find this wine to be very fine indeed, put still with great potential for the cellar; I have one more bottle which will remain there for a while yet."
