S.A. Prüm 2002 Graacher Domprobst Trockenbeerenauslese Fass 61 Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)

Cellar Selection

Price $360

Powerful aromas of dried apricots signal concentrated botrytis, but there is more complexity as well: honey, peach and bergamot flavors are all layered artfully over a deep foundation of apricot preserves. And yet the wine, intensely sweet, isn’t at all cloying. Amazing, but probably impossible to find: 8 cases made. — J.C. (8/1/2004)

S.A. Prüm 2009 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Vat 59 Trockenbeerenauslese Riesling (Mosel)

Online Exclusive

Price $440

So unctuous and decadently sweet that this is one of those TBAs that’s best taken in very small sips. Dried apricot, candied pear and caramelized pineapple flavors are concentrated and intense, lingering sweetly on the long finish. — J.C. (3/1/2012)

S.A. Prüm 2002 Graacher Himmelreich Eiswein Fass 56 Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)

Price $195

Layers of sweet mango, pineapple and citrus fruits are beautifully balanced on a razor’s edge of bright acidity. Hints of apricot add complexity to the aromas, while the finish extends for what seems like minutes. — J.C. (8/1/2004)

S.A. Prüm 2009 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese Riesling (Mosel)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $40

Starts off a bit sweaty, then develops passion fruit and tangerine aromas. It’s a medium-bodied auslese, sweet but balanced, with peach and apricot, ripe citrus and honey all coming together in lovely harmony. Delicious now, and should age well for 10–20 years. — J.C. (3/1/2012)

S.A. Prüm 2002 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)

Editors' Choice

Price $65

Despite this wine’s remarkable sweetness and viscosity, it never seems unbalanced or heavy. Aromas of ripe apples, pears and melons give way to waves of tropical fruit flavors on the palate, buoyed by dried apricots and cinnamon. Finishes long, echoing of golden raisins and apricot. — J.C. (8/1/2004)

S.A. Prüm 2001 Graacher Himmelreich Vat 46 Eiswein Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)

Price $143

Sweet and bracingly tart at the same time, with racy acidity framing sweet orange and lime flavors. Flourishes of bergamot and cinnamon add complexity on the nose and reprise on the long finish. — J.C. (12/15/2007)

S.A. Prüm 2009 Graacher Himmelreich Vat 69 Eiswein Riesling (Mosel)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $175

Lush and decadent, with intensely sweet notes of demarara syrup, peach and citrus, yet there’s enough acidity to bring you back for another sip, and another. The sugar clings to the palate for a long time on the finish. Drink now–2030. — J.C. (3/1/2012)

S.A. Prüm 2009 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese Riesling (Mosel)

Price $31

A lovely effort from proprietor Raimund Prüm, this plump, creamy-textured spätlese displays ample minerality—there’s a distinctly slate-driven note—allied to ripe apple, stone fruit and citrus. Sweet but not overwhelmingly so, this would be terrific with slightly sweet or spicy dishes. — J.C. (6/1/2011)
