Prüm/JJ Riesling Spätlese Wehlener Sonnenuhr 2009 375ml

94 points John Gilman (View From The Cellar): "The 2009 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese from the Prüm family was showing just brilliantly at the time of my visit to the estate in mid-March of this year, soaring from the glass in a glorious constellation of pear, golden delicious apple, petrol, a lovely base of slate, wild yeasts, vanilla bean and a potpourri of spring flowers. On the palate the wine is medium-full, pure and filigreed, with a lovely core, very good acids and fine length and grip on the focused and beautifully complex finish. This is very approachable today, but I would still want to tuck it away in the cellar for several more years and let its secondary layers of complexity emerge. 2022-2050. (MayJun 2015)"

94 points Wine Spectator: "A decadent style, with tropical fruit flavors of mango and guava that drip with plenty of butter and spice notes. A rich anise and glazed apricot strain runs through the aroma to the finish. Distinctive and powerful. Drink now through 2025. (4/30/11)"

94 points Wine & Spirits: "Vivid and pure, this is archetypal Sonnenuhr in its mineral character, the slate aromas thoroughly saturating the sleek flavors of tangerine and white peach. It expands on the palate with an elegant dimension and depth, intensely expressive and quietly complete. (Apr 2011)"

93 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 28 10. The 2009er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese AP 28 offers a gorgeous nose of white peach, pear, bergamot, apricot blossom, raspberry spirit, violet and white flowers. The wine is beautifully playful and light-footed on the palate, where a touch of creamy sweetness is not yet fully balanced out by minerals and zesty acidity. But no need to worry, this gorgeous wine only needs a few more years of bottle aging to develop its full delicately-Auslese styled balance and presence. 2024-2039. (Apr 2019)"
