Prior bottle was 3 years and 9 months ago and this wine continues to show exceptionally well. Honey, clover, floral notes, spice qualities and peach on the nose. Medium bodied (8.5% ABV) with tart peach and apple upfront with a mix of white fruit qualities and slightly richer yellow fruit notes. Mid-body gains density and shows orange and pineapple, balanced by nicely tart citrus. The contrast between the two elements allow the honey qualities to come off as richness, rather than overt sweetness. This in turn works very well with the minerals and acidity on the finish. This wine feels nearly as young as my first bottle back in February 2017 and the interplay between the fruit and acidity promise a long life and more complexity to come. I'm going to be hard pressed to resist these in 2021, but will try to wait until at least November 2021, or better yet, June/July 2022.

Yellow-green; high intensity aromatics with lime, pear, peach, white fruit, a mineral/slate component; palate is medium bodied, white fleshy fruit throughout but backed by a high acid spine, a bit of petrol, low alcohol (8.5%), some sweetness but more in balance and refreshing than noticeable; medium length finish. Not the most complex Auslese riesling, but impeccable balance and very enjoyable on a warm March day. 93

Very pale green gold colour with plenty of fine bubbles on pouring. Wonderful nose of lime, white peach, pear, lemon zest and passionfruit. The palate is fresh with baskets of fruit dominated by lime and passionfruit but balanced by a zesty acid spine and lovely grip. A wine still settling down with a million miles in front of it. Delicious !

JJ Prum - 2015 range tasting: Cassis and plum on the nose, with some herb and earth - this is quite unlike the other wines on show today and it certainly helped it stand out. Zingy acid profile that really punches through the rich fruit, there is also a savoury note as well that gives it an extra dimension. Not my very top wine of the day, but it managed to leave a lasting impressive with the interest it provided.

Intense aromas of peach, floral and orange on the nose. Between medium and full bodied (8.5% ABV) with tremendous depth and richness. A varied mix of orchard fruit upfront that's still densely packed at this stage with orange, pineapple and other tropical notes in the background. Notes of honey become more noticeable as the wine warms. Tart notes along with balancing acidity and mineral qualities come in on the finish. Highpoints of this wine were it's depth, richness, complexity and how well the acidity stood up to the fruit. This wine is a baby and I'm excited to see how expressive it become in future years. Based on the fruit, richness and acidity, this wine has many years of improvement in front of it.

The sweetness made this killer with spicy Thai food. That was a much better pairing than crab legs which was the second night we had it.
