Joh. Jos. Prüm
Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Kabinett
Bernkastel, Mosel, Germany
What a lovely, lovely wine. Classic J.J. Prum. A distinctly pretty light straw color in the glass with faint green tinges. The nose is oh so floriferous and charming. Honeysuckle and wildflowers with white peaches and yellow apples. After some time, there’s a bit of slate and honey. Light and breezy, this is so nice.
A crisp and lovely Mosel Riesling, it’s very much alive and inviting immediately. Refreshing and well balanced throughout. There is precision on the palate underscored by some nice minerality. The fruit is pronounced and remarkably crisp, led by bright citrus tones and light spice. Vibrant lemon zest and grapefruit is tremendous here. Prum delivers yet again.

2020 June / July. So young - it almost feels like it’s just finished fermenting. There’s a bit of spritz remaining. The nose and palate are both pre-primary, and while it’s enjoyable it’s frankly a bit young to drink. I’ll wait a year or two on the rest.
