I tasted Wehleneder Sonnenuhr from 1993. Exceptionally good, but currently I pfrefer Frith Haag or Tesch, especially when it comes to price-performance ratio.

I recall 1983 to be an amazing vintage for German rieslings ! Had several rieslings back then including Bernkasteler Doctor ,Dr Thanisch... LOVE THEM !

Your review triggered my memory that I have a few bottles of 1983 JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese stashed away that I bought in the mid '80s for $13/750. Sadly, not gold capsule. Still, can't wait to try one. I like sweet Rieslings with spicy Chinese or Thai food.

Joh Jos Prum is my favorite wine producer in the world. It’s extremely hard to come by in Indiana in the United States, but I have a amassed about 100 bottles in my cellar. My favorite thus far is the 2001 WS Auslese. I have had it twice and it’s been remarkable both times. I will continue to pay the prices to get this wine to Indiana. I’m jealous of all of the European wine lovers who can get this much easier. JJ Prum will likely always be my #1 producer and one if my bucket list items is to some day visit the winery. Thanks for sharing this. I hope to see more JJ Prum in the future!

Thanks for this interesting review of such an old and high-quality riesling! 👍👍

For the first 5-8 years of drinking wine, all I knew & drank were the wines of Joh. Jos. Prum. I've been lucky to have a few from the 80's, 90's, and about 10-12 bottles from 2001 over the years. For me, JJ Prum was the foundation of what I understood German wine to be, grace, intensity, clean, & long-lived. Of all the wines I've had over the years, the one I continue to search out & buy whenever I find it is the 2001

We are huge fans of JJ Prum and have been drinking their wines for over 30 years, we have had everything from their Riesling Kabinett’s to Riesling Auslese’s namely the 1983 and 2006 vintages. We actually paired the 2006 with a Mogul brazed Indian curry dish my wife prepared and we were actually surprised how well it went. Thanks for another great video.

The 2001 Prum WS Goldkapsel Auslese is a splendid wine right now, one of the best German rieslings I've tasted and as good as many of the legendary 1971s.

JJ Prum is one of my favourite German producers alongside with Robert Weil. I am Chinese, and I like to pair my Spatlese with mildly spicy Thai or Chinese cuisine, and occasionally with sashimi and seafood sushi too. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in the video. Cheers!

JJ Prum is one of my favorite wines. The quality of this wine (Spatlese and Auslese -the ones that I have tried) are much better compared to other vineyards making the same wine in that area. The J.J. Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Gold Capsule Riesling Auslese are superb!

My wine mentor, Dennis Dinsmore, shared 2 bottles of Prum at a Thanksgiving meal. He opened a 1976 Prum Graacher Himmerlich Auslese and a 1976 Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese. I vividly remember the experience. To be nearly 30 years of age and still showing fruit and freshness, was something I could not get over. I love old Riesling.

Great review. The wine looked like it could go another 20 years. I was surprised you didn’t score it a little higher based on your comments. Love your channel. Keep up the great content!

Had my first Auslese JJ last summer at a pop up wine bar on Seneca Lake in NY. It was a 2012 Gold Cap. Had it with a free range barbecued chicken. It was a beautiful wine. Being with my love, eating good food, looking over a beautiful lake, drinking a memorable wine.....just a great evening.

Your enthusiasm is contagious.

Da können wir uns ja auf einige tolle Tropfen freuen! & cooles Thumbnail 😄

Hi Constantin MW, I’m a drinker from Bangkok, Thailand. Although a relatively new followers of your for over a month or so, I found your videos truly amazing with the way you casually go through tastings, background information in a relax, yet informative manner. You simplify rather complicated wine making technique, vineyard history while at the same time providing your own experience. Me and my brothers are huge fans of your channel so please keep up the efforts! We have been fond Bordeaux drinkers but we are relatively new to Riesling and German Riesling are our favourite so far. It would be great if you can share us your opinions on the 1) different style of dry German Riesling from different region 2) unique characteristics of German Riesling in comparison to the Austrian or Alsatian Riesling 3) lastly, your tasting of best value German Trocken (Dry) and other sweetness levels (Auslese, spatlese, or even BA and TBA Riesling. WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW YOUR CHANNEL AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Every time I watch one of your videos I find something to add to the "must try" list (and the "must earn more money to pay for them" list). I haven't tried any of the Prum wines. I do love Dr Loosen's, so I can only imagine how good JJ is. I did try one very old Riesling. It was from the "Russian Imperial cellar" (whatever that might be) and a very good friend of mine picked it up when she was sort of in the wine business. It was from 1933. I wasn't sure what to expect but I did a braised guinea fowl with dried mushrooms to partner it. (I had a good rioja as a stand in, just in case the wine was undrinkable). The wine was interesting. The cork was very short and I wasn't sure there would be anything much left of the wine, which was very dark. It tasted it's age (quite a lot of tertiaries) but the very strange thing was that there was still some fruit as well as acidity. It was really a glimpse in to a bygone age. And the food pairing worked well.

Wow , I am engaged in your videos Konstantin !! U looked amazed tasting the first sip of that beautiful Riesling!! Thanks for sharing

Super video, some of the best KZfaq content on wine.

Richtig coole Idee mit der Serie! Bin sehr gespannt was noch dazu kommt

Danke für diese tolle Folge! Interessant zu hören, wie sich solch ein Wein entwickeln kann. Ich habe erst vor kurzem die beiden 2019er Graacher Himmelreich Auslese Goldkapsel und die Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese von Prüm getrunken. J.J. Prüm ist mit seinen Auslesen eine Klasse für sich, auch wenn ich Fritz Haag leicht vorziehe, wenn ich die trockenen Rieslinge mit einbeziehe.

Thanks for access to these more expensive wines. I would love if you could propose alternatives that offer some comparable characteristics at different price points, so we can work up to a level of appreciation where it makes sense to invest in these world class wines. Great video!

Tolles Format!!

Sounds amazing. I will keep an eye out for this at my vintage wine shop.

JJP WS is my absolute favourite Riesling. I’m partial to the spatlese with 10+ years of age. When I pair it, I pair it with Ethiopian food.

Visited them last year! Very nice people!

Great video - despite the weird shirt. You should do more of these deep dives on a single wine.

I’ve got my first home made wine in primary fermentation right now and it’s a Riesling.

I have the 2012 of this bottle in my cellar... by the look on your face after you tasted it, I may need to let it sit for a little longer! yum

Great vid KB, I watched it sipping a Dr Loosen 2019 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spatlese I found for €17

tried compatible with very old nägelkesse if it how you spell it. absolutely Devine

I first stumbled across JJ Prum when I was searching for a nice kabinett Riesling to pair with last year’s Thanksgiving dinner! I fell in love with the Wehlener Sonnen Kabinett bottle and since then bought 3 more of it. I found them for $32 at total wine and now they are $74 at that same store where I bought them!! Any thought on which vintage would be better - 2020 or 2021?

Prum is so good, I need to try some with more age on it

Great idea. Not a fan of Grauburgunder at all, but people love it. Why? No idea. But if, take Ziereisens Jaspis. The only Pinot Gris that counts. Except Alsace, sometimes, rarely, once in a decade 😂

Here where i live, in Republic of Moldova, they mostly produse dry or demi dry Riesling. I actually love it. I have a bottle of sweet Riesling prodused with the help of a mold called Botritis Cinereea, from 2020. Sweet of course. Limited edition from Mileștii Mici winery. Get one while they still have :D Just kidding, you don't have to get a bottle if you don't want to.

Good Riesling is the Hauswein in heaven.

nice i tasted the 88 (without gold capsule) a while ago. still very good but it lacked acidity

If you want to taste aged Riesling but don't have the money. Querbach has many affordable old ones. And yes Konstantin I do feel honoured, thanks for sharing.

Cooles Video! Meine JJ Lieblingslage ist das Graacher Himmelreich - empfinde die Weine als ein wenig „schlanker“ und frischer als die Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Aber im Zweifel nehme ich alles von JJ :)

And, if it was TCA affected would they replace it? About 5%, or more of the old Riesling i have ever had have been corked. Is it consumer resistance or their conservatism that stops them using screw caps?

I have this wine, vintage 2015, but I'm not sure about the gold capsule thing... What does it mean? Greetings from Brasil!

When will you do a spatlese or Auslese tasting?

I had a 1983 Mosel auslese very young. After uncorking the room filled with pears. Marvelous. I must have missed the wild boar part. I auditioned a simple Nahe qualitatswein with a client and he fried up some boar burgers. The Nahe was so unique he ordered 2 cases. Believe it or not. I didn't have any of my auslese in my case that day. Damn.

Yes.

Nice!

Shiiii ....... hätte ich doch damals gekauft. Der Wein überlebt ja jeden ........😍

I thought you were going to share this tasting with us. My glass is still empty...waiting, waiting🍷

No I haven't had a JJ Prüm so far although most of the wines I drink are from the Mosel as well as there are many great wine makers in that wine region but drinking a JJ Prüm is definitely on my list! Thanks for sharings this wonderful wine with us!

7:25 I’d love to see you chug some $500 wine out of the bottle😂

How is it that the vineyard can have ungrafted vines in Germany? I thought this was only possible in Chile

I’ve been fortunate to have Prum Wine several times….. years ago when more affordable….. my recent discovery, Keller… one of his GG wines. Hopefully will have G Max some day. My memory may be faulty, but I think Keller is better. What do you think?

Ja , die 83er Goldkapsel von Jay-Jay-Prüm .... Mitte der Neunziger konnte man die noch bei Dr Manfred Prüm für ca 50 DM auf dem Weingut bekommen , später dann bei Weinland Keiler in Dortmund und anderen Händlern ... und jetzt fast 500 € ... Wahnsinn , aber der Stoff ist es wert !!!

Awesome! I like the video concept. How about posting it on reddit under r/wine?

RIP Konstantin's drone 😭 Great photo, though 🥰

Kann man den 1983er kaufen? Ist mein Jahrgang und will dieses Jahr noch bei Prühm vorbei 😬

That shot of the color... I could almost smell the wine just by looking at it

Hallo ich habe einen 1949er Joh. Jos. Prüm im Keller. Würdest du diesen Wein noch empfehlen zum trinken?

Hi Konstantin, great Video. I just bought the 1983 vintage of jj prüm wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese (gold capsule). What about the 83 vintage? Do you have any information about it. I payed about 150,- € for the bottle. I think it‘s a fair price, what do you think?

I can’t believe he took the cork that way

What’d you do with the rest of it?

I had a 2017 Gelt Zillikon GK Auslese to celebrate a new job. Lovely wine, but I think that for sweet wine, in general, there is better value from the Loire, Santorini and from a few Austrian producers, like Kracher.

So no signs of oxidative process? Is it because of the high content of sugar?

Only 94? You are a tough customer!

2005 Graacher Himmelreich Asian sweet & sour foods.

Vielleicht kommt ja noch was von Markus Molitor???

If that is ‘only’ 94, what gets 98, or more?

I had a 1994 bollig lehnert spatlese a couple years ago that tasted like distilled sunshine and cheeseburgers it was awesome

thanks konnie. great show. maybe i'll get a riesling for tonight. clare valley is best, of course :-) mjr tokyo

I’ve seen JJ bottles and I didn’t know anything about JJ.

I don't know why it didn't take the last part... the wine is the 2001 JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel.

hey Konstantin, should I pull a trigger on a 2019 J.J. Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett white capsule? As I've understood due to climate change the kabinet level (especially during a great year like 2019) no longer feel like "watered down", but the prices haven't adjusted to the new reality. Or would you rather aim for the spatlese white capsue? anything above that gets too expensive for me. Thanks

ich habe noch einen jim beam aus den 70ern

Don`t forget Willie Schafer in Graach……

Probably my favorite white producer anywhere. Certainly in Germany.

How do you think this will pair with goat's cheese?

My taste goes to dry maybe slightly sweet rieslings. Living on the east coast of United States, rieslings are often the better tasting offerings at the wineries.

i must be abnormal, eating and drinking does not work for me. i get faded, most often cross-faded, i let the hunger rise before eating and then im done for the day. no more drinking after i ate it totally rekt my digestion.

Show off 😁, 3 times tasting, envy....

I love you K

Can u sand me a kit plz I don't have robux😢

eim deutscher

I don't remember when I drunk good Riesling .All Germans are sweet they probably add sugar .
