Light straw coloured. Baked lemon and a hint of honey on the nose. The sugar is finely integrated in a very linear, suave and elegant wine where the tasting curve is straight as a lazer beam. Not a showy wine, but quietly impressive. On the borderline of outstanding, but surely excellent. I guess the moderate fruit of the vintage has made this come around more quickly than most Joh. Jos. spätlese - notoriously slow to mature as they are. This was surely worth waiting for.

Little development since last tasted five years ago: Aromas of flowers, minerals and some petroleum. Extremely elegant, as always with this producer. Sweet, sleek and delicate on the palate. The flower and mineral aromas became more expressive after a while.

When you pull the cork out on this, the smell that starts spreading through the room is the Garden of Eden. I don't know if they had rad flowers there, but it was paradise after all. Honeysuckle, iris, chamomile soaked in the ripest of peaches. Acidity, minerality and sweet density banging through the roof. You know it's outstanding stuff when that wave of freshness hits your sinuses on the very first sip and starts flowing down throughout your body. Vibrant and so, so exciting. Why don't we drink Riesling ALL THE TIME?

Just a hint of darkening, mild petrol on the nose. Bright and weightless on entry, with plenty of richness following on the midpalate. Very true to the producer/site combo. Slightly honeyed, with good balance and integration, especially of the residual sugar. Could use more length on the finish, but otherwise lovely.

Very pretty. Good length, reticent nose. More driven by deep yellow flowers than petrol, which is a little sad, but a good drink. Still, for $18, thirteen plus years ago, not bad at all!

Golden yellow, pure, clear med intense. Med+ intense bouquet. Off-dry-sweet w. med(+) acid, med body and intensity. A bit short on the finish, but overall a nicely balanced wine.
Kristin and Colin's 30th (Chicago, IL): #11-05. The 2004 vintage has a slightly ethereal lightness to it, and this bottle seems to show some of that. No screechy acids, just a lovely mineral-driven riesling with hints of slate and green herbs. Nicely precise, with a lifted elegance that is very enjoyable. Obviously plenty of potential for further aging, but quite delicious already.

Asperg Wine Syndrome Tasting Group: Collection of Weingut Immich Anker and two other goodies (Private Location): I thought we have to close with something sweet and I brought up this Prüm. On the nose some Mirabelle plums, a touch of vanilla pastry, water melon and herbal notes. A very fine and super delicate nose. On the palate ripe acidity mixed with yellow fruit which creates a very round mouthfeel without any edges. Very balanced and overall totally harmonic. Maybe missing the last length and complexity, but I think only the best producers can create such a "resting in itself" wine. Nice finish of the tasting.

Asperg Wine Syndrome Tasting Group: 3 Guys, lots of Riesling (@Private location): Clear, pale golden color. Clean, medium intense, developing nose with some herbs (dill), yellow stone fruit and some slight notes of petrol. Very fragile and muted. Off-dry, medium+, ripe and perfectly integrated acidity. This is Prüm and it delivers exactly that: very round and balanced wine with creamy texture, resting in itself with flavors of ripe yellow fruit, lime, melon and mineral notes. Juicy, medium+ finish. No rough edges, no special tension, just pure harmony. At least 20+ years ahead. 91-92

a bit of sulphur (but within my tolerance, seems to blow off). Peach and nectarine, some lemony citrus, mild note of petrol. As it warms a bit the petrol and some slate peek out more. Tasty, probably better with more time, but I quite enjoyed. B+/A-

The cork was rotten and crumbled into the wine, so this can't be considered a reliable post. The wine did seem fine though, despite having to sift the cork bits out. Fairly light, acidic, and spritzy, revealing a nose of petrol, lemon, and other citrus fruits. Balanced and fresh in the mouth, but not revealing much in the way of complexity. It was very pleasurable though on a warm spring afternoon...

The wine looks Light gold and straw colored colored. It smells like Honey, Butterscotch, dust, Stoniness, Papaya, Passion fruit, Cantaloupe, Apricot, and Peach. It tastes like Lemon, Apricot, Pear, Apple, Dust, Petrol, and Mineral. The body is Light. The wine has Oily texture. The wine finishes Medium.

Although this is no longer a young wine, it displays very little maturity. It is still so light, young and fresh. Simply delicious. The sulphur, which is often felt in J.J. Prüms wines, has settled, and seems now as a perfectly natural part of the wine. There is great concentration, and a typical Mosel riesling. The only problem is that magnum is the smallest size suitable for one person.

Still young as the nose didn't yeild much. The wine has great balance, though. On the palate there's pleasant white fruits and maybe some grapefruit and a small streak of honey. Unlike the 2000 Simon this was fantastic from the attack through the long finish. This is drinking good now but I'll bet people will be loving this wine around 2018 or 2020. Textbook spatlese.

This comes over in truly Prüm style and delivers a sumptuosly understated nose yet compressed with refinement, lightness and intensity. A soffused, playful veil of slate minerality reveals a less shy set of sweet aromas defined by vivid precision and unreal cleanliness. This is Prüm. You could give me a glass to smell filled this beauty and hold it 1o miles away from my nose and I'll still be shouting "this is Prüm". Oh boy, the palate. This makes your mouth produce a smile in a robotized and fully automated way. This is silk I'm drinking, a vivid, kicking, throbbling kind of silk paired with addictive zesty acid and flavoursome fruit. And it's still a baby...Superb.

Pop and pour. In the glass, clear, delicate pale yellow, almost white, with a viscous swirl. On the nose, lychee syrup cut with lime juice. On the palate, unctuous texture matched with nice acidity, and a seductive blend of tropical fruits and minerality, with a luscious, silky finish. Nice surprise, I wasn't expecting this level of quality.

I’ll admit this bothers me less than it does some people, but I do not find the sulphury swimming-pool character on the nose to be of concern. What is consuming my mind is the brilliantly pure lime fruit and intricate slate minerality that just throb with vivacity. The spritely exuberance suffusing its stellar set of aromas has me grinning with unabashed gratification, its sophistication is manifest. Elegance and refinement inspirit the palate, but its harmony is galvanising my mind with hoopy joy. Yes, there is one hell of a lot of acid, but as it makes my stomach smart all I can think of is how wonderfully it is balanced by fruit and sweetness. In these times of riper and riper vintages it is far from the sweetest spatlese you’ll ever taste, but that harmony, oh that harmony. And the animation. And the complexity. ‘Shouting’ Manfred Prum excelled himself with this wine. Pop yours in 5-10 years if you can keep your mitts off it that long.

starts with plenty of sulphur, but burns off. nice bouquet: minerality -- rocks and stones. some floral elements as well. lemon, tangerine, and maybe a hint of something more tropical. sufficiently ripe, but with tremendous mouthwatering acidity. outstanding length. this seems to be developing nicely. sweetness is mellowing. lots of secondary characteristics poking through. should be wonderful in 5 years.

Reticent nose of white fruit and powder. Good mouth with a good amount of well-balanced zing, high on the white fruit and petrol elements. The length is tangy, if a bit on the short side given the rest of the wine. A real bargain for $18.

Had as part of a vertical tasting of too much stinking wine so not much in the way of notes. This was drank next to the 01, 02, and 05 versions of this wine. My notes merely say this was dull compared to the others. I'm very sure this wine is much better than my score, however it was clearly outclassed by the other wines in this vertical.

Very young and tight, I don't know how much decanting this had before trying.
Very reticent nose of primarily slate and minerals, with just a bit of citrus poking out. On the palate, medium bodied with a bit of spritz, pears, and a medium length finish with some spice and hints of grapefruit. Well balanced but tight, with moderate levels of acidity. Interesting to try at this age, but best to let them sleep for a few more years.
