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+.
