Other Reviews....
This projects another dimension of clarity, levity and understated complexity from the already impressive Rieslings that preceded it in the 2015 Prüm lineup. Honeysuckle, heliotrope and apple blossom perfumes atop ripe apple and quince capture the attention on the nose, then segue to a near-weightless, subtly creamy, yet generously juicy palate. Wet stone and bittersweet, smoky hickory and walnut oils serve for counterpoint on a prodigiously prolonged, luscious finish.

The 2015 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese has a clear and discreet, but very deep and elegant fruit aroma that indicates a cool smokiness of crushed stones. This Riesling is very clear, piquant and elegant on the palate, with a gorgeously lush fruit and lingering salinity and mineral grip. This is an excellent, well-concentrated and expressive terroir Riesling from the other Sonnenuhr. Now the Wehlener needs all its charms, because otherwise the Zeltinger is Prüm's Spätlese king in 2015.

Quite closed on the nose (some orange peel) and tightly wound on the palate. The racy acidity is an ideal counterpoint to the ripeness. Rather long, cool finish (with a hint of mint). A long term wine that will be better from 2019.
