First bottle of my 2019 WSU Auslesen from Prüm, and only my second ever Auslese from the estate. I think I knew what to expect from this wine, and sure enough it’s really closed down at the moment, with some spellbinding characteristics that need time to knit together. There isn’t a great deal to the nose, but the palate is gorgeous, very tropical, sweet but featherlight, with some pleasing bitter orange flavour that appears after two hours of air. It seems quite low in acidity, a characteristic of the vintage, and slightly incomplete at present but a joy to drink and a great match for Thai curry.
Eleven more bottles in this case and I shan’t open the next for another five years at least! — 3 years ago

Showing very well. Paired beautifully with some elevated Thai — 4 years ago
Orange blossom and the slightest touch of residual sugar to balance out the razor sharp acidity (and balance out my spicy Thai food). This is a light wine but I can almost taste the slate soils and steep slopes.

Light golden color but still fresh. Lovely nose with white flowers and fresh fruit. Still tart with a bit of sweetness at the end. Very mineral tastes. Drank with fresh salmon cakes with Thai spices. Great pairing. O e more in the cellar. — 4 years ago
