Colour: light gold, bright, clear. Nose: full, fresh, v ripe fruit, lime, acacia, touch of honeysuckle Taste: med body, rounded, v ripe fruit, good acidity, v classic W S, long finish, quite delicate and refined, good balance of fruit and acidity. Overall, a winner. 7% ABV but no further details ever given by the winery which is frustrating to put it mildly!

A very pleasant riesling. Strong petrol noce, and stone. So pleasant and characteristic. Strong minerality on the palate, very moderate sweetness. Right acidity to support it. Very assertive in minerality and aromatics but light and delicate, definitely agree with other notes this is not a thick auslese. Obviously, it can wait much longer to put on a bit more of weight but it already delivers pleasure.

BTG from 375. Light nose and palate, honeyed pear and peach. Had the density of an Auslese but the sweetness and richness of a Spätlese. A refreshing well balanced after dinner Riesling, but definitely lacking some of the depth heft and complexity I expect from Prüm in better vintages.

750. Tasted along a 375 of the same vintage’s gold capsule, this was lovely, albeit noticeably lighter in color and texture. Highly enjoyable meted out in small pours over the course of a week. (Thanks, Claude, for sharing.)

Most recent note from ATBARBAR is spot on. Nothing to add.
