This is simply a great wine. Tasting notes will always struggle to do justice to such a wine but this is so fine, so intense, so long. The 2010 is wonderfully potent with cool aromatics of jasmine, fresh dew, stone fruit essence and fragrant smoke. This leads, without seam, to a wonderfully vivacious pithy and apricot/peach laden palate. Its balance is delicate yet confident with those pulsating fruit notes, carried to the long finish by 2010's electrically-charged acidity. In a word; dreamy!
"A Prüm 2010 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese A.P. #17 allies ennobled richness of vanilla- and honey-tinged apple and alluring creaminess of texture to juicy vivacity of citrus; low alcohol levity; and transparency to nuances of honeysuckle and heliotrope perfume, crushed stone and brown spices. The palpably high extract here and hint of chewy fruit skin do not detract from an overriding sense of polish and buoyancy. While it's at once soothing and stimulating long finish is ravishingly long, it will take time for this Auslese to reveal what is probably an advantage in nascent, nuanced complexity vis-a-vis the corresponding Bernkasteler. Time will as always be on its side, and I would not recommend seriously tucking into bottles of this for at least 12-15 years, with expectations for it to hit age 40 acting youthful."

"Pale golden yellow. Heady aromas of strawberry and nut oil, with a gentle hint of smoky botrytis. White peach fruit essences and mineral salts animate the creamily rich yet delicate palate. More concentrated than the other ausleses at this address, in more of a BA style. But with its strong acidity, this impressive wine will mature into a great auslese." 95 points, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 12
