96 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The Prüm family’s 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett AP #12 is every bit as stunning as the Himmelreich Kabinett this year. The beautiful bouquet wafts from the glass in a complex blend of pear, apple, incipient notes of white cherry, citrus zest, a lovely base of slate minerality, a hint of vanilla bean and a floral topnote redolent of apple blossoms and lavender. On the palate the wine is bright, medium-bodied and beautifully tensile for the vintage, with excellent focus and cut, a lovely core, great mineral drive and a very, very long, vibrant and perfectly balanced finish. Stunning juice. 2028-2075. (Jan/Feb 2022)"
95 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett offers a discreet and sublime, complex and very elegant and slightly flinty nose with a coolish and very delicate expression of stewed apricots but also some greenish berries, whereas the first stony character remains. This irresistible and noble bouquet leads to a round and lush yet also refined and savory palate, with coolish apricot flavors on the long and sustainably salty finish that is firmly structured but elegant and highly stimulating. This is a superb, very elegant and complex, sustainably structured Sonnenuhr. This is already a great pleasure to drink, but you can keep this Kabinett for more than three decades easily. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 05 22 in July 2022. Drink: 2022-2070. (Aug 2022)"
94 points Fine Wine Review: "A pure, pristine, crystalline wine with Sonnenuhr slate fruit, length, penetration, some nervosity, and lightness on the palate. This wine is austere now, yet fabulous, and will only improve over the next 20 or so years. Cork closure. 8.0% stated alcohol. Last digits of A.P. Nr.: 24 21. (8/5/22)"
92 points Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2020er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett greets one with a superbly aromatic and refined floral nose of tangerine, candied grapefruit, minty herbs, some floral nuances, and yellow peach. The wine is very delicate and rather smooth on the spicy and suave palate. The finish proves tight and lean as some fine zesty elements come through and add a very playful and truly Kabinett footprint. The wine combines a feeling of light ripeness and cool freshness and proves a very successful Kabinett. 2028-2040. (Nov 2021)"
92 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$56 list] A lightweight, intense white defined by a mix of floral, peach, celery seed, chive and slate aromas and flavors. Racy and linear, with a terrific finish. Drink now through 2038. 340 cases imported. (10/31/22)"
