Joyous Mosel to celebrate the first signs of spring — 7 years ago
Apéritif to an epic meal at Luxembourg. For such a sweet drink, it sure did okay in whetting our appetites.
The botrytis certainly shows. Honey, apple, grapefruit, lemon peel, musk, mineral. An almost baby pee like aroma lingers in the nose. Weighty, yet incredibly precise. Juicy fruit and spice on the palate. Racy, drawn-out acidity.
Note: Being a young Prum, I was looking out for the sponti/fermentative characters people talk about. Couldn't detect any (maybe that funk?) - likely because it has been opened for a while before I had a glass.
From RC write-up: Graacher wines typically offer greater finesse when young and are overtly more mineral noted than those of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr. They often show more citrus and fresh nectarine fruit, as well as a powdery, sorbet-like minerality that strongly differentiates
them from the ripe peach fruit and the textural opulence that Wehlener Sonnenuhr wines develop with age. Graacher wines are also typically more accessible when young than those of
their more famous neighbour. The slope here faces south-southwest: less westwards than the Badstube but slightly more than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr. The slope is also steeper than the
Badstube, but slightly less steep than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Finally the soils are also slightly deeper than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr and the gradient varies from 45% to an impressive 65%
(so again, more steep than the Badstube but slightly less so than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr).
Typically the most mineral tasting wine in the line up. — 9 years ago
This is the 2001. Very delicate floral aromas with lingering orchard fruit. Spatlese is nit my favorite, but still this is starting to show its complexity. — 11 years ago

Honeyed citrus, lime zest, limestone. — 5 years ago
At the 12th year since the wine was born, this gold cap doesn’t taste like an old Riesling at all. Yet, it doesn’t have the fresh tropical fruit punch experienced from the 2007 version. All that being said, this wine distinguished itself as a delicate artwork. It is a pristine raisin nectar bomb. It is so balanced, so precise, so tender, yet so concentrated. Everything, sweetness, acidity, and minerality have been integrated beautiful together over the years. This wine reminds me of how good a sweet Riesling can be without sticky viscosity. Serve closer to room temperature. — 7 years ago
So good. Balance, slate, rich fruits. The pinnacle type of Riesling experience. — 9 years ago
Very young, but extremely vivid and racy. — 9 years ago

Still waiting for an occasion big enough to warrant drinking a wine that has been in my cellar for nearly forty years — 10 years ago
Yeehaaa! Don't try this or you'll get KaJo-addicted! Wonderful fresh and elegant style. Nearly impossible for me to correctly assess the vintage of wines from this winery. You always estimate too young. — 10 years ago

Beautifully balanced acidity, a little lingering sugar, lemon curd. — 12 years ago
Last weekend turned out to be a 2011 extravaganza and thankfully, a rather pleasant one. Not my favourite vintage in Europe, with the Mosel churning out many wines that could occupy higher pradikat levels than stated. Nevertheless, the best examples had a ripe delicacy, showing lightness and freshness within the opulence. That was just exactly what the Prum GK portrayed - rich and earthy notes wrapped in crackling acidity. Pure aromas of mango, peach, orange, fresh quince, and cream, with a light honey note and lovely floral qualities. The palate manages to remain very juicy, despite the ripeness and botrytis. Immense weight and finish, as expected of a GK. Complains? I felt the botrytized notes could have come off a little cleaner on the palate. There is slightly too much musky-savoury element, although it does not disrupt the freshness of the wine. MO also detected a slight bitterness in the finish and she felt the minerality could be more pronounced, both points I don't really agree with but hey... she's got a better palate than me. — 7 years ago
Holy crap this is beautiful. No botrytis - just pure, crystalline tropical fruit. Astounding. — 8 years ago
Paired beautifully with funky gooey cheese, bright acid with floral and honey notes 🌼🐝 — 9 years ago
Very long pure special. — 10 years ago
Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese vintage 2002 so fresh... — 10 years ago
Wow wow wow and WOW! I just love these wines! Absolute dynamite intensity, palate weight and carry. Baked apples, Lemmon curd and a beautiful acid carry. One of my all time favourite wines. HAPPY BOY! — 11 years ago
beautiful precision — 12 years ago
Stunning. Beautiful bottle development, nice tension between acid and fruit. Good depth and excellent length. Will certainly go the long haul. — 12 years ago
