Joh. Jos. Prum, Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Auslese, Mosel

JJ Prum - 2019 range tasting "every year is a new adventure" (ChinChin Sydney) : A wildcard to have next to the 2019 GH AGK. Starting to show a more golden colour. Woody spice, mandarin, musk and showing the start of a petrol character on both the nose and palate. The palate shows some honeyed sweetness and a nicely delicate mineral profile. Probably got beat up a bit next to the delicious, powerful 2019s.

It's pretty much the same wine as the GH Auslese, but with a richer, even denser profile, and a touch of botrytis thrown in. Quite compelling in its own right, and a different beast altogether, but just as exciting.

2014 JJ Prum Horizontal (Chicago, IL) : Nose: The nose is fresh and highly aromatic with a spring-time quality to it filled with white florals, pears, chalk notes, green apples, minerals, and some white peaches. Taste: Medium bodied with high acidity. The acidity is refreshing and youthful with the feel showing good density along with white florals, pears, green apples, honey, and minerals. Overall: This is a lovely, young Goldkapsel Auslese. There was a level of aromatics and density that …
