The 2022 Joh Jos Prum Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Lange Gold Cap is a notable entry from the acclaimed Mosel Saar Ruwer region of Germany. This wine, produced by Joh Jos Prum, is a white Riesling with a stellar reputation among professional reviewers.

Vinous rates this wine at 95 points, highlighting its unique characteristics. According to Vinous, "The 2022 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese Lange Goldkapsel was designated thus because it was not found typical enough for a Beerenauslese, despite reaching sufficient must weight, it was made with 55-60% of botrytis." This points to the meticulous selection process and the presence of noble rot, which enhances the wine's complexity. The review notes, "Mirabelle jelly and compote shine on the nose, slightly lifted, aromatic, ripe and sweet. The palate brings this to the fore, presenting a lovely, concentrated, vividly fruity, bright core of candied Mirabelle, accompanied by gilded, candied citrus, mouth-watering and tempered, yet so intense. Very long, beautifully restrained and pure."

James Suckling offers an even more enthusiastic review, awarding it 99 points. Suckling describes it as a "nobly-sweet masterpiece" and praises its lush, creamy texture. According to Suckling, the wine exhibits "incredible aromas of exotic fruit coulis plus a slew of tropical flowers." He emphasizes the presence of "ripe papaya on the full-bodied palate," and commends its "fantastic concentration, creaminess and vitality right through the super-long and compact finish." Suckling suggests that while the wine is drinkable now, it will reach its peak from 2030 onwards.

In summary, the 2022 Joh Jos Prum Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Lange Gold Cap stands out for its exceptional quality and complexity. Both reviewers highlight its vivid fruitiness, concentrated flavors, and long finish. With ratings of 95 and 99, this Riesling is highly recommended for those seeking a premium wine experience.
