July 31, 2023 - Wow. Just stupendous. Medium sweet with all youthful gloss integrated into the body of the wine. Wondeful texture. Depth and complexity for days. Drunk at a party but will serve next bottle in a quiet setting to allow more focus. Great stuff. (97)
July 6, 2023 - Fairly extraordinary wine. Full bodied, medium sweet. Petrol and tropical fruits, gooseberries and grapefruit Backbone of acidity behind, providing structure and lift. Long and some complexity. Drinking beautifully but will improve for many years.
January 31, 2023 - Rating for drinking now, with some more complexity this has 96+ potential. No detailed note made, but I remember this to be a bit less intense and sweet than the Bernkasteler Badstube from the same year, but otherwise being quite similar.
October 30, 2022 - This is so good right now. Lovely honeyed red apples with some spice and a beeswaxy mouthfeel. Served with lemon tart but forgot the pud and just kept sipping.
August 19, 2022 - Passive cellar since release. Delicious wine, lots of lanolin. JJ Prum is a MACHINE! So consistent.
May 30, 2019 - lovely wine, an excellent counterpoint to the 99 Climens we had immediately before it. Sweet, but good acidity and drive. Apricots, honey and a hint of brown sugar. Faint spritz, but in no way distracting.
June 4, 2017 - Great wine, sweet, floral, elegant, great with soft goat cheese. Has been ready to drink from bottling and is still developing.
December 13, 2016 - Sweet jesus this is liquid gold. So many sweet layer fruit notes but perfect acids on the back end. Will age for 100yrs.
December 10, 2016 - Expressive and suave. Smells and tastes as it should. Acid is present but not especially pronounced. A fine Mosel Auslese.
October 5, 2016 - AP 17 07 at 7.5 pabv. From Riedel Riesling glass and Coravin: Almost pure gold, brilliant, transparent, perhaps a little spritz; sheeting but no tears. Lanolin, melted beeswax, apricot flowers, hints of malt and river air. A very '76 kind of entry but perhaps with soaring, persistent acidity keeping the high residua sugar in line, with a spring wildflower honey impression in the very pure botrytis note. Even small sip is palate-coating and has good texture. Not quite as lissome as some Prüm Auslesen from this vineyard. This wine is still a baby and at ten years hasn't even begun to shed its youthful fat. This will give you something of an idea what it was like to drink the '76 late harvest wines in the mid-80s. Very similar notes from the Impitoyabke,
Drink 2024-2034.
