K&L informed me by letter last Thursday that my pre-arrival/futures order of
5 bottles was in. I called on Friday, paid my shipping charges and my package was delivered today.
Upon opening, I detected peach, apricot and petrol scents. This nectar looks like water, but with a very slight green/gold tint.
Pouring my first glass, I noticed very fine bubbles rising. A few minutes later, the bubbles had dissappeared. My first sip was heaven in my mouth. Slightly sweet but with a mild acidity.
After a few minutes, I get a hint of citrus. There is also a pleasant bitterness.
A good finish, leaving me wanting another glass (which I shall indulge in)
Tonight's enjoyment leaves me with this JJ Prum collection:
5 bottles 1999 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese
2 bottles 2000 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese
4 bottles 2002 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese $34.50 (includes shipping) USD
On a side note, looking at the capsule, I noticed the numbers 5 4 3 2 1 12
11 10 9 8 7 (clockwise) in a shield like design... It's a sundial!
So, in your honest(humble) opinion, If I wanted to do a vertical tasting, what would be the pattern of years? I guess I really need to try and get a couple bottles of 2001 (but that is pricey)
