Community Tasting Note

Lehto Likes this wine:

Saturday, March 2, 2024 - Soaked cork as usual with Prüm! Color had almost not turned just a slightly bit golden at this point. Pale straw and greenish tint.

Before going into specific notes, I think the style of Prüm is lacking some acidity for my personal preference. For sweet-sweet wines they are definitely among the absolute elite, but I felt this drank more like a Spätlese than a Kabinett for my taste. I love that high-high acidity!

Nose was just absolutely stunning. Both ripe and unripe pineapple, apricot, elderflower, ripe white peach and a very slight hint of citrus fruits.

Palate also showed the same notes of pineapple, apricot, white peach and elderflower but was lacking a bit on the lemon/lime that I love so much. Slightly candied/honeyed with some grapefruit, citrus zest and a hit of petroleum - all which added a slight bitter touch to go along with the sweetness. Personally lacking some more freshness and acidity, but this is still such a well-made Riesling!
