Arguably the best producer of Riesling in the world. Golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is lovely with just a hint of petrol along with peach, wet rocks and slight white flower notes. Full bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this is sweet but with enough acidity to cut it. Very rich. Peach, slight pineapple and minerality. Long finish. Nice on its own, this will work well for dessert with a not too sweet cake. Drink over the next thirty years.
Wow. This is singing right now. It seems at peak, but will probably continue to evolve for the next 30 years at least. Will it get better? Perhaps. This was purchased at the winery. Deep golden in color. The nose is clean like after a rain. Even the light petrol has the quality. A bit of peach and some wet stones as well. On the palate, this is sweet, but more ripe than botrytis. Slightly viscous. Peach with underlying minerality on the palate. Lots of depth and complexity. Long finish. Worked great with deviled eggs actually, but of course it will go with a wide variety of l
Gorgeous wine. It is sweet of course, but not as sweet as expected. Golden in color. The nose is pretty with just the slightest touch of petrol. Also lots of minerality, wet stones and slight apricot. Full bodied. Viscous. Enough acidity but a bit more to counter the sweet would be nice. Still, it is a very nice wine. Went well with Halloumi cheese. Drinking well now, but it has two or three decades of life left.
Wow. For some reason, the JJ Prum 2015 wines have not shut down. This one is amazing. It will get better as well and probably has 50 years of great drinking ahead. One of the truly great wines out there and when one factors in price, there are not many better values. This was from a 375ml bottle. Light golden in color. The nose is clean with minerals, wet rocks and slight peach and grapefruit. On the palate, this is sweet, not cloying. Great acidity. More about minerals but some stone fruit. Deep and contemplating. Long finish. Spectacular.
An Internet wine friend passed away this week. Although I never met him in person, we shared many discussions usually about German wines. He took amazingly detailed notes. This bottle was opened among people who knew him and shared with others with a toast. AP 2 602 041 008 03. Bought on release at a local wine store in Moreland Hills, Ohio (since changed ownership and moved). The cork came out easily enough. Medium golden in color. The nose took a minute to blow off some bottle age, then showed nicely. A slight diesel note along with wet rocks and slight pineapple. On the palate,
