An absolutely classic bottle of Riesling from the great JJ Prüm. It had that incredible balance and juxtaposition of ripe fruit and ethereal delicacy.
It’s been about five years since my last bottle of this wine and time has only made this all the more compelling. This actually benefited quite a bit from some time open as the air brought great freshness and verve. Initially the fruit felt rich with notes of figs and apricot but as the bottle was open it transformed into ginger spice infused piquant apples with a finish of baking spice. There was a delicious and cooling note of mint that really made this feel all the more fine, satisfying and delicious.
A wine with at least a decade of very enjoyable drinking ahead, but drinking so well right now. Very very Prüm and very very good.9/2/2025 – Vinumming & Ahhing Likes this wine:95 Points
Jeremy’s German Riesling Dinner #2 – Table 1 (The Laundry, Brixton, London): Chamomile and glacé grapefruit nose. Tarte Tatin apple char with air. Palate just mesmerising and poised. Spiced pear on entry, the mid palate is about the orchard fruit; just à point. Quince jelly on the finish. Chapeau.

Patio Season Begins (All Saints, Mpls, MN): Light medium gold color. Drank a glass over an hour plus. Peach, fusil, stone fruit, tropical notes, expansive, great acidity, wet stones, oily texture, long and layered. Been drinking these for a long time now, and they just keep getting better. Dang good stuff.

Hint of petrol on opening but that fades quickly leaving a beautifully ethereal nose. Flower petals and beeswax complicate sweet pear. The sugar is just about completely integrated now though there is still plenty of richness on the palate yet. The nose really sells this where the palate feels less refined. Terrific wine that is taking to its age quite nicely.

A Wilburs buy from years ago.
Color. Medium yellow wa touch of green.
Nose. Green apples, limes, white flowers, lychee, medium alcohol. Very youthful.
Palate. Very bright acidity. Very enjoyable mouth feel. Lots of honey and rich baked citrus fruits. This wine has the strength to go for many more years. Maybe another 15 years?
