January 12, 2024 - Floral nose with obvious reductive notes indicative of a high-quality Mosel Riesling. Rich body, excellent acidity, well-balanced sweetness without being too sweet. Long finish (high-) that lingers. Very nice
September 30, 2023 - Light hay color. Minerals, acid, sweet, integrated. Wish I had sprung for an auslese bottle.
July 8, 2023 - I bought this in 2010 for $23.00 USD (375). A nice trip down memory lane for me. Drank in the Hamptons with family. The cork was dry. SOme petro;. Minerals. Pleasantly sweet.
April 28, 2023 - Light yellow-gold in color. A precise and airy aromas of yellow citrus and florals, herbs, apples and minerals. A light and lively palate showcases a perfect balance of acidity and sweet apple and peach fruits, salty minerality, and a long perfumed finish. Transparent, invigorating and delicious.
February 16, 2023 - Note: I use the recommended scale, so 85 represents a very good wine.
Just another stupid-good aged Riesling from my cellar.
Cost $19 in 2010. Has aged perfectly.
Don't know what more to say.
February 11, 2023 - Semi-sweet, smooth, refreshing acidity without harshness or heat, fruity and lively. Doesn't have the elegance of the '07 Sonnenuhr Auslese, but less lush than the '07 Sonnenuhr Spatlese, and should last longer.
February 9, 2023 - Some Prum pseudo-reduction matchstick when opening, cinnamon spiced peaches, balanced acids, really in a nice place. B+/A-
August 4, 2022 - (AP 08 08) Herbs, flowers, apple, pear, spices, lots of minerals, nuts (hazelnuts? almonds?), ripe pineapple, grapefruit, apricot, lovely acidity, definite but delicate sweetness, an almost endless and exquisite aftertaste with distinct notes of mint and peaches as it fades. A lovely summer day in a bottle.
March 2, 2022 - AP 08. Deep straw yellow color. The nose is initially effusive, with green fruit, herbs, and mineral, but that actually receded to more of a yellow fruit and cream profile with some time in the glass. There is still dissolved C02 here, so the wine really benefits from splash decant and some air. The palate is very well integrated at this point, light to medium bodied and pure. I do not think this is low in acidity, just that the acidity has melded with the fruit and isn't screaming down the mid-palate like it can in young Riesling. But it's true that the palate has a broad presentation that maybe lacks a little focus. Nonetheless, this was charming if not profound.
January 22, 2022 - Absolutely must have 60+ minutes of air. This was lovely, by far the most enjoyable 07 Prum I’ve opened. It will always be an 07, with some pastry cream and more orchard fruit than citrus. But while maybe a bit over generous, it’s true to the site and pretty well balanced, with a decent vein of acidity and some subtle earthiness behind the fruit. Just entering what id consider its ideal drinking window.
