  A bowl of tropical fruits on the nose. Definitely a big rich spatlese. But there is balancing acid there, especially when it's on the cooler side. Think this will improve with age.

  Notes of pear and apple on the tongue, honeysuckle and petrol on the nose. Minor effervescence. Very enjoyable, excited to see how it ages

  PnP. Pineapple, peach, guava, passion fruit core with balanced acid. '19s are not as open as they were a couple of years ago, but still enjoyable to drink, fairly simple with great balance and energy.

  Wonderful aromatically and not solely as primary as one would expect given how young this is. On the nose: petrol and a minerally scent with some grasses. Florals eventually begin to peek out. Palate highlights the fruit, which was overshadowed on the nose: lychee, peaches and a sliver of apple. Balanced mouthfeel with a hint of effervescence. Medium finish with considerable lingering of a faint, fruity sweetness.

  I opened a young Prüm--which is not something I'm generally prone to do--to check in given all the rave reviews of this over the last year. I don't know that I found this quite as expressive as some other notes suggest, but it is nonetheless a real treat to drink at this age. The nose, while initially quite reticent, ultimately opens to show jasmine, pear, and almond. The palate is light but intense, sweet but brisk, a dancing pleasure, with flavors of marzipan leading into a exquisite and long finish with layers of vanilla and tangerine pith. It's certainly worth opening one of these for immediate pleasure, but it also shows so much potential, and it's worth it from that perspective as well. I didn't buy enough of this.
