Vintage 1993 | ultimate balance and super rich smell, apricots, I smelled even a small chemical putty 😉 — a year ago

Tasted blind. Dark yellow gold color. Similar nose to the wine next to it. More complex, more sweet, richer and seems older. Notes of honey and almond, petrol, apricot. My guess (which we have to throw out there before both bottles are revealed) is the 90 Trimbach CSH. It's the JJ Prum WSA Goldkap, which I guessed the other bottle to be. Was definitely more rich and the better of the two bottles tonight. Perfect compliment to the cold tomato gazpacho it’s served with. — 5 years ago

Incredible spreading acid hits you immediately. So rich and robust with what I can only describe as sweet acid - the acid is so concentrated and integrated with the sweetness it’s crazy. — 7 years ago

Pure pleasure. On the nose petrol, honeysuckle, beeswax. In the mouth, sharp acidity, lanolin, honeysuckle, minerals. Very precise, balanced sweetness and acidity. Rich and long finish. 8% alcohol. Probably could go for 10-15 years or longer. — 6 years ago

Last weekend turned out to be a 2011 extravaganza and thankfully, a rather pleasant one. Not my favourite vintage in Europe, with the Mosel churning out many wines that could occupy higher pradikat levels than stated. Nevertheless, the best examples had a ripe delicacy, showing lightness and freshness within the opulence. That was just exactly what the Prum GK portrayed - rich and earthy notes wrapped in crackling acidity. Pure aromas of mango, peach, orange, fresh quince, and cream, with a light honey note and lovely floral qualities. The palate manages to remain very juicy, despite the ripeness and botrytis. Immense weight and finish, as expected of a GK. Complains? I felt the botrytized notes could have come off a little cleaner on the palate. There is slightly too much musky-savoury element, although it does not disrupt the freshness of the wine. MO also detected a slight bitterness in the finish and she felt the minerality could be more pronounced, both points I don't really agree with but hey... she's got a better palate than me. — 6 years ago

Rich honeyed apricot, good acid to keep the sweetness in balance. — 3 years ago

Tasted blind and served with another wine. Yellow gold, clearly Reisling and probably German in origin. Notes of mango, tangerine, kiwi, river stones and some petrol. Very rich, but lacking acidity in the way you'd like which suggests this is older. I guess JJ Prum Wehlener Sunnenhuhr Auslese Goldkap. I'm close, it's the white label bottle of the same. This improved over time with air, even though we're told it had been open for several hours. — 5 years ago

Tasted blind. Dark gold. Amazing perfume. Sweet, sharp, apricot, waxy bean, spice and honey. Rich in the mouth. Palate coating. Light acidity, short finish. Guessed 70s German. This was another rare treat from our host tonight. — 6 years ago

So good. Balance, slate, rich fruits. The pinnacle type of Riesling experience. — 8 years ago
