Here is a great Mosel Kabinett that needs a bit more time to show what it is really made of. Still very young with a pronounced yeasty character that slowly recedes with aeration, but the white peach and honeysuckle...

Decanter, October 2023

This vibrantly peachy, salt-licked kabinett requires just a few minutes of aeration to peel back the layers of smoke and slate that may obscure its fragrant, abundantly fruity style. Just a shade off-dry, it's a piercing...

The 2022 Joh Jos Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett is a white wine from the Mosel Saar Ruwer region in Germany, specifically from the Middle Mosel sub-region and the Wehlen appellation. Produced by Joh Jos Prum, this Riesling showcases the traditional and emblematic characteristics of its terroir.

James Suckling awarded this wine an impressive score of 96, describing it as a "great Mosel Kabinett" that is still young but has the potential to show its true character with time. Suckling notes the "pronounced yeasty character" that recedes with aeration, revealing "stunning" aromas of white peach and honeysuckle. He praises its "extremely vibrant and precise" nature, likening its purity to "an Alpine stream running with glacier water."

Decanter also gave high marks with a score of 95, highlighting the wine's "vibrantly peachy, salt-licked" profile. The review describes it as being "just a shade off-dry," with flavors of "cut stone, bracing white peach, and lemon and lime." The finish is noted as "harmoniously dry" with veins of "salt and gunpowder." Decanter emphasizes that this wine is "thrilling, complex yet irresistibly youthful," recommending it for immediate enjoyment with decanting or for cellaring through 2043.

Vinous provided a score of 93, mentioning that the wine is not immediately expressive on the nose but delivers "immediate clarity and poise" on the palate. The review lauds its "laser-straight elegance" and "stone and citrus" flavors, calling it "so poised, so mouth-watering, so stony."

Wine & Spirits also gave the wine a 93, noting its reflection of the famous Wehlener Sonnenuhr site in a warm vintage. The review describes ripe tropical-fruit notes of "pineapples and litchi" followed by "herbal tea and ginger" on the palate, suggesting it pairs well with a citrus vinaigrette salad.

Wine Spectator scored it at 92, remarking on its initial closed nature that opens to flavors of "jasmine, sweet green apple, and Asian pear." The review highlights its "impressive purity and inner density," with a "shimmering, razor-edge finish."

Finally, Wine Enthusiast also awarded a score of 92, describing the wine as "elegant" with "freshness and complexity." The review mentions flavors of "pear and grapefruit midpalate," complemented by "ground ginger and elderflower," all supported by "vibrant acidity and mineral elements."

Overall, the 2022 Joh Jos Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett is a highly praised wine with excellent reviews, showcasing a harmonious balance of fruit, acidity, and minerality.
