My money is on the 2012.
While we would all probably rank vintages and ageability differently, I wouldn’t bet against Prum at all Pradikat levels from 02, 04-05, 07-10, 12, and 15. I haven’t tasted 11, 13-14, 16-18 so not sure there yet, and I just haven’t cared for 06 generally given the bounty of other strong vintages, which is why I skipped it. If really looking for something structured somewhat like 01, my votes would be 08, 12, and 15. I also have faith in 10 if you are an acid freak like I am and am listing it separately because it was a notch more intense.
Thanks all for the vintage recommendation. I’m situated well with 05s, thankfully. Regards.
I am also an acid freak and love 2010s, esp. at the Auslese level. I have not tried any of my 2010s from Prum, but I have truly loved GKA from Schloss-Lieser and Reinhold Haart. Wish I had bought more 2010s.
I’m a Riesling bottom feeder and abuser - I drink mostly entry level kabinetts with very spicy southeast Asian food. I lucked into a few each 2001 Prum WS Auslesen and Spatlesen. What shall I pair them with?
Other than spicy Asian food, I like ham or other smoky meats. Auslese and cheese is lovely.
A JJ Prum Spatlese with some age and Thai food is heaven.
Thanks gents. Perhaps I’ll just dial down the spice a bit. I worry that my usual ‘level 10’ will hide any nuance in the wine.
Yeah, that’s a likely outcome.
I struggle to match wines with spicy food because the acid makes the spice so much stronger. I’m a huge fan of pork chops with riesling though.
Yes, I’ve seen some of your other awesome notes on Burgs and bubbles…just had to tease you a bit. I totally get the finesse and elegance comment. At least with wine…I’ve never been accused of having either myself!
I just checked CellarTracker and I have at least one bottle of Prum left from
1993
1997
1998
2001-2005
2007-2010
2012
2015
The vintages I currently have the most Prum from are 2005 and 2012. The 2012s are all half bottles of either Auslese or GKA. I saw them at a very good price and bought them.
Try one of those 01 Prums with insalata caprese this summer.
For me:
1990
1996-1998
2001-2008
2012
2015
2018 (no delivery yet of course)
11.5 cases total. And, alan, by “case” i mean 12 bottles. That is (or at least was) how many bottles of wine in a german case of wine.
Not sure why nothing from 2009 other that might have been when i thought “I have too much german wine” - as if there were such a thing!
not all.
And I have 18 bottle cases from Prum!
18 bottle boxes are quite common in Germany.
I was tempted to post my Prum cellar, but it would either look like bragging or hoarding. 
Same here, though I don’t have the goldkap/auction stuff that you have. Have enough Auslese for several lifetimes though.
Really? Aren’t they heavy to lift?
Yes! Quite.
love to see it!
