Joh. Jos. Prum, Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese, Mosel

Honeydew, apricot, wheatgrass, petrol - moderate acid brings the fleshy fruit to the fore. Rich and luxurious mouthfeel. Plenty of life on this bottle, so no rush imo.

2015 vintage

Germany & Austria WIMPS #198 27th February 2026 (La Trompette, Chiswick) : Cashew brittle, banana leaf, beeswax, dried banana chip and a couple of ppm of Ricola (original Swiss herb) lozenge. Palate is full and rich. There’s some honied papaya on the mid palate. Finish is on the bruised apple and marzipan. Some think not correct but this is lovely if not quite singing as strongly as its flight mates.

2006 vintage

A class act. 2006 was a difficult vintage for the region and JJ Prum was no exception. They did manage to produce this wine and what a wine it is. Direct, linear but full of complexity. Not overtly sweet and sugary, it is full-bodied and has depth and class written all over it. Tropical fruits, kiwi fruits and some honey, the body is now very approachable with a lovely backbone. Long finish with notes of lychee and slates. Drink now …

2006 vintage

Tasted blind. Picked the vineyard and level but thought it was only 5 years old and not 20!

2004 vintage

Nose of cooked apricot, tropical fruit, and spices. Given the very degraded and elastic cork, and especially the very evolved color, I have some doubts about how the bottle was preserved. Very dense, even syrupy palate. Dominant notes of redcurrant and tropical fruit sprinkled with spices. It lacks a bit of freshness, it's even a bit heavy; I don't find the usual tension in the estate's Auslese. Intense finish, with cooked apricot and a very chalky length. Good, but I …

2006 vintage

From 375ml. Breathtakingly good. Sweet and spicy botrytis hung on a firm and refreshing acidic spine. A prima ballerina couldn't be better balanced than this beauty. Could well be everlasting. Worthy of the goldkapsel hung like a medal around its neck.

VDP Die Pradikatswenguter Grosser Ring VDP Mosel Saar Ruwer (Park Plaza Hotel, Trier) : Waxy, slightly smoky, honey, ripe stone fruit. Medium pus intensity acidity, tangy, rich and generous, long and persistent though dialled back texture. Balanced. Yum.

些许灰尘味和粉笔灰笼罩嗅觉前段，炖梨、番石榴、成熟的白桃、柚子和橘子、热带果酱以及果脯，带着些许蜂蜜、坚果油、木质和白茶，轻微的陈年感带来的无花果干味，构成一个平面展开，后段较弱。口感亦然，酸度较高，带动着果味呈平面分布，果味色调浅而成熟，些许冰糖雪梨、柚子和白桃构建主体，比较细致干净，整体偏弱。87/100

2004 vintage

Not bad. Not great. Very mellow. No acid. Has not developed the complexity one would hope for in an aged Riesling. Tastes like gourmet apple juice.

2006 vintage

Decaturwinedude’s note captured this pretty well- not the usual prum electricity, a bit viscous and in need of more acidity, but still a good bottle of wine.

2006 vintage

Wow. Just stupendous. Medium sweet with all youthful gloss integrated into the body of the wine. Wondeful texture. Depth and complexity for days. Drunk at a party but will serve next bottle in a quiet setting to allow more focus. Great stuff. (97)

2006 vintage

Fairly extraordinary wine. Full bodied, medium sweet. Petrol and tropical fruits, gooseberries and grapefruit Backbone of acidity behind, providing structure and lift. Long and some complexity. Drinking beautifully but will improve for many years.

2006 vintage

This was as fun as I remember it to be. This is Riesling in its finest form, peach, nectarine, lemon, good minerality, bright acidity balanced by just enough residual sugar to keep the acidity in check but not make it sweet. This is an exciting wine at the peak of its drinking window.

2004 vintage

Rating for drinking now, with some more complexity this has 96+ potential. No detailed note made, but I remember this to be a bit less intense and sweet than the Bernkasteler Badstube from the same year, but otherwise being quite similar.

2006 vintage

See my last note. Doing what Prum WS does. Being almost always excellent. Slightly restrained, not my fave vintage. Unctuous, but lingering acidity allows some lift off. On point and will hold. V. good.

2006 vintage

This is so good right now. Lovely honeyed red apples with some spice and a beeswaxy mouthfeel. Served with lemon tart but forgot the pud and just kept sipping.

2006 vintage

Passive cellar since release. Delicious wine, lots of lanolin. JJ Prum is a MACHINE! So consistent.

2006 vintage

Fresh and vibrant, apple, white peach, petrol, more minerality and less sugar than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Delicious.

2004 vintage

Rich, vibrant yellow color. Little bit of garden herbs, sponti, hints of petrol nose. Uber-rich palate, that is coated with citrus flavors and a honeyed richness. Finishes with green apple-tartness amidst wisps of the acidity that is still hanging around. It leans bigger, more unctuous and lush. Delicious in its own way right now.

2006 vintage

Muted nose, with notes of soft pear. Pear and honey on the palate, descent finish but nothing stunning. Previous bottle was much better.

2006 vintage

Crisp, sweet, peach, minerals. Very rich.

2015 vintage

The sweetness made this killer with spicy Thai food. That was a much better pairing than crab legs which was the second night we had it.

2015 vintage

Prior bottle was 3 years and 9 months ago and this wine continues to show exceptionally well. Honey, clover, floral notes, spice qualities and peach on the nose. Medium bodied (8.5% ABV) with tart peach and apple upfront with a mix of white fruit qualities and slightly richer yellow fruit notes. Mid-body gains density and shows orange and pineapple, balanced by nicely tart citrus. The contrast between the two elements allow the honey qualities to come off as richness, rather …

2015 vintage

Yellow-green; high intensity aromatics with lime, pear, peach, white fruit, a mineral/slate component; palate is medium bodied, white fleshy fruit throughout but backed by a high acid spine, a bit of petrol, low alcohol (8.5%), some sweetness but more in balance and refreshing than noticeable; medium length finish. Not the most complex Auslese riesling, but impeccable balance and very enjoyable on a warm March day. 93

2015 vintage

typical riesling tropical fruit and garden hose with a touch of rosemary on the nose, all combining to an aroma of freshly washed clothes. sweet and seductive, with plenty of acidity to counterbalance and produce that signature sticky juiciness. not sparkly minerality, but almost. super long, pleasantly dry / sweet finish.

2006 vintage

lovely wine, an excellent counterpoint to the 99 Climens we had immediately before it. Sweet, but good acidity and drive. Apricots, honey and a hint of brown sugar. Faint spritz, but in no way distracting.

2006 vintage

My last bottle. Shows super-mellifluous, creamy apricots and peaches. Nicely poised acids and sugars. Not as much petroleum as I remember. Still holding up well - no rush to drink.

2006 vintage

Reductive on opening, bit of cheese and rubber as wel as very mature grapes. Quite sweet, zing of lemon and honey. Long and minerally. Slatey. Smokey. Had less acid than the 2010 as I remember. 94 Honeyed sweet fruit. Lovely texture. Green and golden apples. 94+

2015 vintage

Very pale green gold colour with plenty of fine bubbles on pouring. Wonderful nose of lime, white peach, pear, lemon zest and passionfruit. The palate is fresh with baskets of fruit dominated by lime and passionfruit but balanced by a zesty acid spine and lovely grip. A wine still settling down with a million miles in front of it. Delicious !

2015 vintage

Great wine, sweet, floral, elegant, great with soft goat cheese. Has been ready to drink from bottling and is still developing.

2006 vintage

JJ Prum - 2015 range tasting : Cassis and plum on the nose, with some herb and earth - this is quite unlike the other wines on show today and it certainly helped it stand out. Zingy acid profile that really punches through the rich fruit, there is also a savoury note as well that gives it an extra dimension. Not my very top wine of the day, but it managed to leave a lasting impressive with the interest it …

2015 vintage

Intense aromas of peach, floral and orange on the nose. Between medium and full bodied (8.5% ABV) with tremendous depth and richness. A varied mix of orchard fruit upfront that's still densely packed at this stage with orange, pineapple and other tropical notes in the background. Notes of honey become more noticeable as the wine warms. Tart notes along with balancing acidity and mineral qualities come in on the finish. Highpoints of this wine were it's depth, richness, complexity and …

2015 vintage

What a beaut! Fresh yet unctuous, with a zippy sweetness. Limes, blossom, petrol, slate. Very long, very nice. Life ahead of it yet.

2006 vintage

Sweet jesus this is liquid gold. So many sweet layer fruit notes but perfect acids on the back end. Will age for 100yrs.

2006 vintage

Expressive and suave. Smells and tastes as it should. Acid is present but not especially pronounced. A fine Mosel Auslese.

2006 vintage

AP 17 07 at 7.5 pabv. From Riedel Riesling glass and Coravin: Almost pure gold, brilliant, transparent, perhaps a little spritz; sheeting but no tears. Lanolin, melted beeswax, apricot flowers, hints of malt and river air. A very '76 kind of entry but perhaps with soaring, persistent acidity keeping the high residua sugar in line, with a spring wildflower honey impression in the very pure botrytis note. Even small sip is palate-coating and has good texture. Not quite as lissome …

2006 vintage

Again outstanding My last bottle served for wife's Bday and went well with great variety of food I feel the clarity of fruit may be less but still there is a brightness in flavor and sweetness that is tantalizing helluva wine still

2006 vintage

AP 17 07. Definitely wouldn't call this a pristine bottle. Capsule severely corroded and cork was projecting about a millimeter. But I saw this as an opportunity to have an amazing wine for absolutely no special occasion at all. Just as rich as the last time I had this back in June. Definitely not for the faint of heart or those who like delicate Rieslings. Very dense and chisled for a Prum, but everything was in amazing balance. Yes, huge …

2006 vintage

This femme fatale will have you at the first sip... it is everything you expect and feels very young! Keep or enjoy, it will evolve...

2006 vintage

Lovely hay-yellow colour with nose of petrol, dried peaches and apricots. Zero spritz. Initially tasted of fresh apple but with 1hr of air there are lovely honey entry notes and the taste is more of peach, apricot and bees wax followed by a cutting acidity that draws you back for another sip - despite the rich creamy sweetness. This isn't as viscous as I read in previous CT notes and I plan on enjoying it with savoury food/snacks at the …

2006 vintage

Petrol-soaked peaches, apricot and slate on nose and palate. Lovely sweetness. Creamy. Drinking well now - perhaps a little forward for its age as others have said. Great QPR - heartening to know that nice auslesen are available for reasonable money.

2006 vintage

Agree w note from Winestrategies. Top of cork under tight fitting capsule had mold - but wine was not effected. Glad I didn't wait longer.

2006 vintage

AP 17 07. What an amazing wine! I completely agree with Fisch and Rayer's review that this is one of the best commercial bottlings out of this estate. The first day this was a little muted and sweet, but the second day open a certain sharpness and definition entered this wine. No petrol or aged notes whatsoever - only the golden color gave away the age of this wine. Crystal clear flavor definition, ripe, rank with pure botrytis. A monumental …

2006 vintage

10 years after Riesling tasting - 2006 (Villa Behr (Wendlingen, Germany)) : Opened about 3+h before, not decanted. Clear, golden yellow color. Medium+ intense, developing nose with surprisingly fresh citrus notes, honey, acidity and without the Prüm typical “Sponti” stinker. Sweet, very good, vibrant acidity which gives the whole wine the tension I missed in the Hermannshöhle. Really complex, ripe fruit, a worthy “golden capsule” and a really nice finish of the whole tasting. Has a long life ahead and …

2006 vintage

Rich, unctuous and viscous. Notes of spice with hints of petrol. Feels older compared with how Prum wines usually age, but very good now regardless. If you have these don't plan on long aging.

2006 vintage

Pulled this early as it was a leaker. Cork was very soft, soaked through, and eulage as about a quarter inch down from normal. Overall, still in good shape, but glad we pulled it. Beautiful, took about 10 minutes to get 'right'. Nose of honey, apricot, and peach with some floral undergrowth. Great texture, like heavy velvet. Great balance of acid, fruit, and a slight tinge of sour in the background. Tones of honey suckle and apricot right up front …

2006 vintage

Delicious!

2006 vintage

Wonderful!

2006 vintage

4th of July BBQ with Friends and good wine; 7/4/2015-7/5/2015 (Zurich, Switzerland) : Easy drinking JJ Prüm. Hints of petrol, good acidity and long finish. Maybe a bit on the sweet side. Still young. drink over the next 20 or so years
