2005 JJ Prum Riesling Kabinette

[TheEngineer]

This wine has a very pretty light hay color, very bright, nice compact nose of citrus and white peach, nicely crisp (almost a true kabinett), great acidity, nice minerality and very elegant. A bit much at $24 a bottle as there are better at this price but still a pretty and nice bottle

Engineer, did it give a locale such as Wehlener Sonnenuhr or just Mosel or not even that?

[TheEngineer]

Nope [img]http://wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] This is one of the simpler German labels that I've seen. I guess it whatever is left at the end of the day but still pretty good. Mybe I can get a job there and they will give me all the scrapes .... then again, anyone hiring at Heitz??

Second bottle was noticeably better! Nice for the price and the last bottle was not bad. This one was just more vibrant and a tad more towards the tropical fruit side. Bubbles in full display. Perhaps it needed just a little more time to settle down. Took like 20 minutes to polish off a bottle between a two people.....

While I was browsing German wines at Macarthur's Beverages in DC and considering purchasing either the JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese or the F. Weins-Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese (both 2005) the clerk came over and recommended the latter which was less expensive. He says the F. Weins-Prum is actually better so I brought a bottle home to try and will report later. (I also bought a half-bottle of a Dr. Loosen 2005 Erdener Pralat Auslese and a red Burgundy from Hospice de Beaune.
