Pungent suggestions of thyme and lavender join more typical apple blossom and heliotrope, apple and vanilla in the nose of the Joh. Jos. Prum 2008 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett. There is a bit of a veil of CO2, yeast, and sulfur shrouding the nose here â_" not at all uncommon in youthful Prum wines, but little evidenced in this yearâ_Ts other Kabinett bottlings at the time I tasted them â_" however it detracts only slightly from the pleasure of the wineâ_Ts aromatic complexity. The palate here suggests a near-weightless yet intense floral distillation underlain by vivid wet stone. A classic youthful example of Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett, it will blossom short term as it emerges from its fermentative funk, not to mention over the next 20-25 years, though right now the corresponding Bernkasteler and Graacher are more refreshing and dynamic.
