The sweet and dessert wine Wehlen Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese, vintage 2003 from the winery Weingut Joh. Jos. Prüm has been rated in 2018 by Ulrich Sautter with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Riesling from the region Moselle in Germany.
Complex and intensive on the nose, grapefruit, slate, yeast, liquorice, medlar, tangerine. Still seems very young. Supple and powerful attack, soft and buttery, but also enigmatic and dense. Seems comparatively light on sweetness and at the same time mild in the acidity, but has juice and freshness. Potential for further decades of ageing.
More about the tastingMedium greenish yellow. Very inviting, open fruit on the nose, floral nuances, delicate botrytis honey. Juicy and sweet on the palate, fully ripe tropical fruit, some banana, lacks a little freshness in view of the opulence, seems a little broad-shouldered and still immobile, but opens up with temperature and air, is simply still too young.
