Golden, clear, slow drops. Honey, ripe pear, elderflower, green apple nose. Wine gums, honey, flowers, ripe stone fruit and apricot taste. Amazing fruit and vitality, good sweetness and lovely balance.

The cork of this bottle had soaked through and shrunk, allowing quite a bit of slow leakage, lowering the level of the wine in the bottle neck by about three inches. On pouring, the color was fine, the classic light straw, darkened with age jut a tiny bit. Out of the bottle, the wine's delicate sweetness as you'd expect from a Prum AL in a good year, but the acidity wasn't there. I was about to pour it out but decided to leave it out and see what effect some exposure to open air might yield. After an hour or so, just enough acidity emerged to balance out the relatively mild sweetness, giving a very nice glass of mature MSR, albeit dialed down couple of notches from what you'd look for in a pristine bottle. Nevertheless, a testament to the quality of Prum's winemaking that it can present this well after such obviously suboptimal conditions. If only the quality of the cork had been on the same plateau.

Beautiful Wednesday tasting (@Private location, S-Botnang): Glass: Spiegelau Universal Popped and poured. Perfect bottle. Clear, pale citrus golden color. Clean, pronounced, deveoping nose. First with some vanishing petrol, some fine vanilla, white stone fruit and blossoms, mineral, ripe yellow stone fruit. Beautiful. On the palate almost off-dry, due to the high, racy acidity. Only 7,5% abv. White stone fruit, fresh herbs, very juicy. Beautiful tension and complexity, dancing on the tongue and very refreshing. Long, lingering finish. 94-95

생각보다 당도 높지 않고 산도 적당하고 페트롤향 나고 괜찮았음 좀 맛이 빈약한 것 같기도하고 리슬링이 취향이 아닌가 싶기도 하고 애매한 와인 같이 마신 사람들은 만족스러워했음

간만에 눈을 크게 뜨게 만드는 정말 맛있는 리슬링이다. 솔 향기가 살짝 나면서 분명 달지만 달지 않은 오묘한 열대과일 느낌에 아주 기분좋은 산도와 함께 어루러져 너무 맛있게 잘 마셨다.
