2010 Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese Joh. Jos. Prüm, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2010 Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese, Joh. Jos. Prüm

Site-typical lime and dark cherry accented by cherry pit make for a Prum 2010 Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese at once liqueur-like in richness; juicily, vivaciously citric; and invigorating in its combination of subtly cyanic, chewy, saline, and zesty finishing impingements. Like so many of the more successful wines of its vintage, this also uncannily combines palpable senses of high extract with levity, its high acid and low alcohol reinforcing one another’s encouragement of vivacity and refreshment such as are seldom derived from a wine at this level of ripeness. This deeply flavorful, vibrant, and not in the least superficially sweet Auslese is I feel sure going to go strong for more than another 30 years. (Would that I could so easily imagine myself living to test that prognosis!). - David Schildknecht, Dez. 2011

Mosel Fine Wines - 2010 Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese, Joh. Jos. Prüm

This 2010er Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese presents an elegantly floral nose made of dried fruits, yellow peach, thyme, and some earthy elements. The wine shines through its lightness and finesse on the palate and leaves one with a refined, pure, and delicate feel in the ethereal and zesty off-dry-tasting finish. This wine has the lightness of a Spätlese and is a great tribute to the elegance oozed by great Joh. Jos. Prüm wines. Now-2035. - Apr. 2020
