Joh. Jos. Prum, Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese Nr10, Mosel

ESTG does German Riesling (Seattle, WA, USA) : AP# 28 03. Quite salty, and I really liked it despite the fact that it was much richer than the 1997. But it was very divisive among with the group with people either loving or hating it. On day 2 it really rounded into form and gained nice depth while getting leaner and more mineral.

2002 vintage

Relatively simple, I had hoped for a bit more. Apricots and dried apples with a little white flower and a hint of saltiness, nice lingering finish. Relatively light bodied. Medium plus acid but maybe not quite enough. Quaffable and has the aroma of a sun kissed fishing village.

2002 vintage

Apricots, peach, slate, biscuit and candied pineapple. Medium finish.

2002 vintage

Light gold in color and features ripe peaches, slate, lemon, tropical fruit and a touch of honey.

2002 vintage

Das war ein großartiger Wein. Der Korken löste sich allmählich leider in die Bestandteile auf. Wir mussten den Wein filtern. Im Glas war er dann super frisch und klar. Schönes Süß-/Säure Spiel am Gaumen.

2002 vintage

Broad array of fresh fruit aromas and flavors, plenty of peach, key lime, and baked apple. Faint sweetness remains with good energy. Good enough weight, better length.

2002 vintage

The cork on this bottle was better than the last. The wine had a fair amount of fine sediment but was delicious to drink and had a nice light gold color. This vintage will probably last longer, but I see no reason to hold further.

-- uncorked approx. 45 min. before initial taste -- -- tasted non-blind over 2.5 hrs. -- -- AP #: ... 36 03 -- NOSE: medium petrol, with a fresh/petrichor presentation; moderately austere: lightly baked carrots and mature gooseberry; powdered sugar. BODY: medium maize color; full bodied; surprised to see a tiny touch of spritz still hanging around. TASTE: zesty, despite acidity that is perhaps just "medium"; a bit honeyed; orange blossom and honeysuckle; light, deeply-embedded cherry note; 7.5% alc. not …

2002 vintage

Fresh as a daisy and flawless. Pale yellow in the glass—looks like a brand new wine—with expressive aromatics, this is light and delicate on the palate with only subtle sweetness and intense minerals. Perfectly balanced and just approaching its peak. Not a blockbuster like the 01 but dare I say this might be just as good for what it is.

2002 vintage

Prüm's 2002 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese is just starting to open up and is very enjoyable today with an hour or two of air. Very fresh and fruit forward with an abundance of white peach, raspberry candy, roses, lime, roasted thyme, whipped cream and green apple. Pure and delicate, exceptional balance. Now - 2035

2002 vintage

Cork pushed in, bad fill level. Way advanced and completely dead and undrinkable.

2002 vintage

Tuesday Night at WWS (Willamette Wine Storage, Portland OR) : The nose is deft and fragrant with balanced tones of peaches, red apples, quince, caramel, pears, yellow flowers, nectarines, and some mineral tones. The nose shows off some good primary fruits along with excellent development and maturity. The Light bodied feel is silky and with some nice weight along with crisp, high acidity that is showing off good integration. This is right in that good spot between maturity and primary …

2002 vintage

Very nice integration of sweetness for this Riesling - full golden colored. Nice ripe tropical fruits, with still elegant acidity that frames this wine all the way through. I liked this a lot

2002 vintage

Thai and Riesling Night : [Thai and Riesling Night - Nine Rieslings] Much more oxidative and advanced than the 2005 Prum. Also more advanced than my first bottle. Matches my old notes to a degree, but this died after a hour of opening. Chalking it up to bottle variation here.

2002 vintage

[First of 12 bottles, bottle with past seepage] An aged JJ Prum is one of the most magical wines you can have! While young, JJ Prum can often come off as too sweet, too simple (fruity), and sometimes too predictable. With age, the integration of the sweetness and the fruit really transforms the wine into something absolutely heavenly. On the nose, toasted coconut, coconut water, honey sweetened herbal tea, ripe peaches and almost fermenting pineapple. Pronounced intensity, ripe stone fruit …

2002 vintage

ABV 8.5; very gunky top of the cork as per others, but it came out easily with an ah so lovely gold color plenty of passion fruit, pineapple, and other tropicals; lovely mouth feel enough acidity, though i would have liked a bit more

2002 vintage

Upon removal of the foil, the cork stemmed to be in a poor state. Thankfully it was just the top, and the wine was in great condition. Papaya, mango, wet slate and moderate petro on the nose. 20 years of age and yet so vibrant with fruit. Well balanced and nice Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Would not keep remaining bottles longer. Would have hoped for a longer finish.

2002 vintage

The cork was in poor shape with leakage into the capsule. But the wine was delicious. Given the age and state of the cork, my recommendation is to drink soon.

2002 vintage

CT Offsite: Day 1 Tasting : Delicious. Quite dry, sweet, sour and salty. Not as electric as some past bottles but just so quenching and clean with light diesel notes.

2002 vintage

Beautifully balanced Riesling with a tinge of sweetness and really bright. An outstanding Kabinett at a terrific point in its evolution that paired with a slew of tough dishes. Even the spicy ones were managed with aplomb.

2002 vintage

Drinking beautifully with a spicy curry dish. Green apple, medium bodied with hint of sweetness.

2002 vintage

PnP. To my palate, this is not only in a perfect place, it's in an exciting place. Loads of dry extract, with perfectly mature aromas and flavors, and also the vitality of plenty of fresh, clean acidity to balance everything out. Long finish. Strike that. LONG finish. Brilliant. recommended

2002 vintage

Rocking bottle of Prum right from the get-go. To judge from the pale color alone you'd figure this was a new release. But it's moving nicely along its curve and has now reached the point where it tastes functionally dry despite carrying what must surely be an ample amount of RS. The fruit is all racy green apples. End result is textbook Mosel riesling with a rapier-like cut. I didn't notice until after getting this note down that I have …

2002 vintage

Perfect condition. Nice and melty to drink.

2002 vintage

Wow, wow, wow, this is drinking stunningly well! Light diesel and honey with a whiff of sea air. The palate is just loaded with salty slate, white peach and lime zest. This has so much energy and is so refreshing. Kabinett verve and just perfect acidity. They are still young but really entering a nice window right now. Thank goodness for my Coravin, or this whole bottle would have disappeared in 10 minutes.

2002 vintage

Recently purchased from a private collection. Still pretty primary but entirely delicious. Wish I had gotten more.

2002 vintage

PNP. This still needs a bit of air to settle down, but is drinking very well right now. Pretty straightforward wine for me, maybe a bit more secondaries to develop, but it is expansive on the palate with a long finish. Very enjoyable with cheese before dinner. A-

2002 vintage

Thematic Thanksgiving (Los Gatos, California) : Still light yellow. Apple is the predominant fruit. Light, spritzy, just off dry, excellent acidity and stone. Little in the way of maturity.

2002 vintage

Thematic Thanksgiving (Los Gatos, California) : Medium yellow. More secondary petrol scents than the Kabinett, but similar apple tones. Not sweeter than the lower Pradikat wine but broader and creamier. This bottle actually seemed closer to full maturity but retains fresh acidity too.

2002 vintage

I was hoping for a bit more from this bottle. My wife brought it to a neighborhood poker game and by the time I got there it had warmed up a bit (probably around 60) but was still unopened. I opened it so I got to see it from the start. It didn't move a whole lot over 3 hours. Very good. Reasonably thick and oily with ripe tropical aromatics- apricot and very ripe peach. Good acidity but it was …

2002 vintage

Smells like petrol and peach with apple. Tastes little sweet but one dimensional. Goes down easy

2002 vintage

Opened and poured. Mold under the capsule but cork fine and didn’t crumble. Highly enjoyable lab with a bit more nuance and depth than most.

2002 vintage

There is a slight effervescence that is obvious as it settled into the decanter. Color in the glass is a pale to medium straw/yellow. It smells very fresh, clean and crisp with classic petrol, white peach and apple. It tastes of juicy ripe peach, apple, white pepper and a little petrol/resin. It gives the impression of sweetness, but it not sweet. The flavors are weighty but the wine is light and crisp. This is a very nice wine for Christmas …

2002 vintage

Had a lot of trouble with the cork. It broke up and eventually just poured through a small whole in the cork then through a filter. The nose was lovely; citrus, honey and flower notes. Rich with layers of pair & to a lesser extant stone fruit layered with honey. Although it was there if you looked for it, the petrol flavor was very subtle actually helping the overall taste. I don’t see this getting better but it was pretty …

2002 vintage

Plenty of peach and apple with savory spice and very good depth. Very good length with nuanced layers of fruit and spice. Very good now with further upside from here. Better than the 2005 in the next glass.

2002 vintage

Very nice. Dramatically different from new release. Medium gold. Thick and oily. Fragrant, smells like apricot and over-ripe peach. Really flavorful. Moderate sweet. But awfully simple, it’s one dimensional. Lives on its power. Impressive.

2002 vintage

Kindly provided by Jonas. This was great. More of the petrol notes coming through. Fruit still there and the hints of sweetness. Wine was gone quickly so clearly well enjoyed.

2002 vintage

The nose on this is quite fragrant, on the palate this has the bright acidity and lemon oil/zest flavors, minerals and finishes with a hint of sweetness. The jury is still out for me on Reisling generally as that hint of sweet is not something I really enjoy - I clearly need to do more exploration to better understand these wines.

2002 vintage

Bought on release, stored cold. No ullage. Solid cork. Pale gold color. Delicate fragrance of peaches and lemon. Barely perceptible effervescence. Medium bodied, still lively, good balance of sweetness and acid. No hint of decline but seems to be defying gravity at 15 years of age. A very impressive and enjoyable mature Kaninett.

2002 vintage

The wine was in good shape although the color had turned to deep gold. The wine was quite sweet. This was enjoyable to drink but clearly the wine has matured beyond a classic Kabinett style.

2002 vintage

Agree with BELLISSIMO. This is enjoyable but has seen better days. Soft and round with little of its original acidic verve remaining. Drink up and be prepared to use an Ah-So to extract the cork.

2002 vintage

Cork was in poor shape and their appeared to be some leakage. Had to filter into a decanter. A little tired at this time with hints of guava, papaya and pineapple. Acids have tamed. Everything was just a bit softened hinting at what it once was. Waited too long or bad cork; either way just meh-

2002 vintage

last bottle. consistent. this is still lively.

2002 vintage

Frais et vivifiant, à la fois doucement fruité et bien minéral, c'est complexe et très salin, bon volume et superbe longueur. Un des meilleurs Kabinett que j'ai pris. Excellent! 91-92 pts

2002 vintage

Medium straw. Nose shows spice, green apple, touch of slatey mineral. Off dry almost medium dry, green apple, spice, nice smooth mouthfeel, vibrant acidity, good length spicy , slightly sweet finish. Very good, drinking well, and no particular hurry to drink up.

2002 vintage

Had a problem with the cork breaking and this bottle, while still very good, wasn't quite as good as previous bottles. The fruits were a little muted and there was a little something distracting. Nothing I could put my finger on and maybe it was my imagination after fighting with the cork. Having said that it was still really good. Peach and some tropical fruit with a layer of honey. There was a little more mineral than I remember on …

2002 vintage

golden now. nose of peach and green apple. peach, lime, lime zest, with an appropriately acidic full finish of wet stone and retained carbon dioxide. i thought this overpriced 8 years ago. it's not! wish i had more.

2002 vintage

Very pale color. Typical Prüm petrol in the nice. Nice sweetness in the finish. Overall a great Kabinett

2002 vintage

Beautiful golden color. It is like biting into a ripe peach dipped in honey with citrus in the background. Acidity is perfect keeping everything fresh even at 11 years. Perfectly complimented some delicious Thai food, both enhanced by the other. I have had two bottles over the last several years and it just keeps getting better. This wine still is in the prime of life and I think will continue to evolve over time. As an aside, don't over chill …

2002 vintage

Great balance. A creamy mouthfeel with intriguing and complex flavors. Lively acidity that gives the impression of electric effervescence carries the finish through wave after wave. Outstanding and a delight with slow roasted pork shoulder. Less interesting on 2nd day.

2002 vintage

Are you sure?
