Joh Jos Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese Riesling 2021

Joh Jos Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese Riesling 2021

Riesling | Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany

Great intensity and transparency! “The 2021er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is really restrained and almost non-saying at this early stage, but already hints at the complexity to come as it reveals after a few minutes very delicate notes of whipped almond cream, lily flowers, vineyard peach, minty herbs, smoke, candied grapefruit, and quite some fine spices. The wine proves creamy yet intense and dynamic on the palate. It proves very focused and already hugely long. This will need quit

Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco 2022

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

The 2022 Barbaresco is a pretty rich, heady wine. Dark cherry/plum fruit, cloves, licorice and mocha build as the 2022 shows o its considerable depth. This is one of the few 2022s that is quite resonant texturally. The aromatics could be more lifted and the tannins could use a bit more polish, but those qualities were next to impossible to come by in 2022. The inclusion of some juice from Riserva lots in a great help. This is a stellar showing. Drink 2027-2034Antonio Galloni, Vinous 93 Point
