Popped n' poured last nite with Thai leftovers. Pale gold color, some petrol and peach notes on the nose. There's peach, pineapple and some apple on the palate. Medium body, nice stony minerality with fairly crisp acidity. Notes of apricot on the fairly long finish. Nothing overly compelling here, but its aged nicely and still showing well.

Recently purchased from private collection. This was a fine wine but nothing particularly compelling. I decanted this bottle and drank it over a few hours. Good acidity but muted fruits in the palate. I'm not sure if this wine is approaching the end of its life or in a dumb phase of sorts. Prum Kabinetts can age a long time but this one leaves me confused without additional data points.

Medium gold color. PNP, drank 1+ glass over 45 minutes. This was a pristine bottle, great nose with bright peach, floral, hints of pineapple and ripe golden apples, moderate petrol at first that tames to fairly mild, stony minerality. The palate is just like the nose, also very bright, the fruit is lovely and crisp, not overtly sweet, a solid Kabinett with a good finish and nice layering. Loved this with our turkey.

Gold hue, clear with very slight haze. The aromas are honey, minerals, wet stone, apricot, and melon. The tastes are minerals, peach, apricot, melon, lime, and salinity. The body is weighty, and the finish is long and delicious.

I tasted this wine earlier this year, and it's exactly the same. Once again, pulled from the cellar blind, not recalling if I've had this one before. Pale straw color, floral nose with some honeysuckle & peaches. On the palate, very dry with some citrus, peach & melon. Acidity level more pronounced than I recall, and quite crisp. A fairly simple, 1-dimensional with, though with nice minerality, slate & a bit sweeter than I thought it would be. Still drinking well

Pulled from the cellar blind, not recalling if I've had this one before. Pale straw color, floral nose with some honeysuckle & peaches. On the palate, lots of peach & melon. Acidity level lower, less crisp than I expected. Nice minerality, slate & a bit sweeter than I thought it would. A very pleasant bottle that perhaps should've been opened a tad sooner.

I have had this in my cold cellar for close to a decade. Floral honeysuckle nose, loads of peach, kiwi on the palate, firm acidity holds this together, a bit 1 dimensional, but delicious and refreshing none the less. Drink soon!

Still possesses fresh fruity notes that give it a slightly sweet off-dry taste, with soft elements of soil (slate, clay). No doubt the good acid structure has kept it young.

From the underrated 2002 vintage, this Kabinett has shunned its early outer peel of residual sugar, leaving a well-developed and integrated beverage. A touch of rs still remains, but it’s offset beautifully by waves of ripe white peach and mango, the expected slate and minerals, and an uplifting finish of fresh acidity. In a really good place right now.

Peach, stone fruit. The acid has calmed down some, but is still present. Nice minerality. Starting to get touches of honey between layers of flavor. Good stuff.

This is coming along well. Some mildly spicy pears and peaches with some nice dry acidity you would expect from a Kab. Ready now but definetly has more years in it.

A very nice Prum offering, with sophisticated wine making and redolent with honeysuckle AnD A GOOD Floral NOSE. THE PALETTE Of FLAVORS IS, HOWEVER, LESS COmplex THAn IN THe 2001,1997 OR 2005. READY TO DRINK AND ENjOYABLE TH ENEXT DAY (VACU VIN). Drink nOW.

Nose: Ripe apple and pear aromas. Palate: A slight fizzante with good acid levels and flavors of apples and pear with some slate mineral and a medium length finish. No petrol evident on this bottle. Decent Kab although I would drink up if you have any.

Starbright, fairly heavy spritz; kerosone, hessian, wet stones, low keyed - later chalky; off dry, marked acidity - youthful, tight as a drum; clean as a whistle. Dry, forceful finish, extended length. Will hold for years.

AP #12-03. Almost colorless, like many young Prums. Very spritzy with a lively acidity.Medium bodied and quite fragrant with aromas of green apples, lime and slate. Long finish, particularly for a young wine. Tasted quite young but somewhat open at the same time. While I don't think this will ever have the depth of the '01, '03 or '05 Prums I think a few more years in the bottle will yield further rewards for the palate. 50+13+12+8+8 = 91+

WOTN. Nose of lime and slate. Palate of lime, spritz, minerals, slate, long, cool finish. Light and substantial at the same time. I don't think it has longevity of wehlener, but probably will continue to evolve/improve over 5 years... certainly, very enjoyable now.

This wine is so elegant and light, you risk to miss the sheer quality of it. The characteristic "petrol" nose, extreme minerality, it's all there. This is very, very good. No need to think of what to serve next to it, just the wine is interesting enough to sniff and taste. Excellent.

Excellent - to me a true 'kabinett' style wine. Balanced, with great, ripe acids. Liquid stone on the palate, with a hint of yeast. Slightly spritzy as well. This could use some more age, and will last a long time. Long, complex finish.

may have been a bit oxidized, but seemed "off" the first night. It also had an amazing amount of trapped CO2, my wife's glass could have been mistaken for a bubbly! Day 2 and 3 though really showed some finess with nice apricot and green apple.

I don't generally like wines this sweet but this one was an exception. Would work very well with food such as exotic asian or Indian foods and enjoyable with fish too. Fruity and rich it was a pleasure to drink. I'll have to try some more German wines. Maybe I'll find others I like.

Very nice - but not that exciting. Very pale, has a soft apple, pear fruit nose with only a little petrol and white flower hints. Nicely balanced on the palate, juicy with crunchy apple and pear acidity. Nice finish. I would want more acidity I was going to age this.
Restasted the remainder on 3 days later and confirmed the above - did not gain much complexity, remained a very nice, very drinkable Kabinett.

Dinner with friends (Seattle, WA): This bottle had been open for more than a day, but it was singing. Less 'Young Mosel Stink' than a bottle enjoyed two days earlier at a different tasting. Crisp, clean and delicious, more of a true Kabinett than examples from 2001 and 2003. Lovely.

Seattle Tasting Group does Aussie Shiraz (Bellevue, WA): AP #12. Ahh, what a nose. Talc, lots of sulfur and that young stinky minerality of the Mosel. The palate is zingy and vibrant although pretty lean and razor like. Quite nice!

This Kabinett has an unremarkable nose, which shows only the faintest hints of citrus and maybe white bread. The palate, though, is much more interesting, with a restrained bit of sweetness on the attack and then turning to pear, yeast, and mineral as it moves onward. The minerality is especially pronounced on the finish, which is long and concentrated for a wine without much heft (and only 8 per cent alcohol to boot). I enjoyed this one quite chilled, although that probably submerged the already minimal amount of fruit.

Last bottle as a single man. The nose was very faint was some minerality and custard. The palate had a lot of lively acid and tastes of dough, wet slate, and lemons. There seems to be a lot of fruit hiding below the surface.
