Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, March 13, 2024 - Bought a six-pack of this shortly before being separated from my cellar for several years (no, the feds were not involved) which was a good way to enforce self-restraint, except now I can't recall anything I read about it at the time. But who cares? This is excellent. Old dark residue on the top of the cork but the rest is clean and solid. At first sip, damn if this doesn't smell and taste just like a ripe white nectarine, explosively flavorful and summer-sweet, wrapped around a laser beam of acidity. The initial power softens with time in the glass, which lets the midpalate transition to wet rocks and petrol (just a little, and for me, only on the finish) come into clearer view. I don't follow Prüm every vintage so can't make super specific comparisons (I have some 2015s I also haven't opened), but as a few others have noted, this does seem a little weightier than the Kabs I remember from a decade-plus earlier, which isn't surprising. But I think this is balanced and will keep shedding fat as it develops, and it's very early days.
