  • 2002 Joh. Jos. Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (12/5/2008)
    AP #12-03. Almost colorless, like many young Prums. Very spritzy with a lively acidity.Medium bodied and quite fragrant with aromas of green apples, lime and slate. Long finish, particularly for a young wine. Tasted quite young but somewhat open at the same time. While I don’t think this will ever have the depth of the '01, '03 or '05 Prums I think a few more years in the bottle will yield further rewards for the palate. 50+13+12+8+8 = 91+ (91 pts.)

Thanks Jeff. We seem to share a fair number of wines (riesling and chenin blanc are #2 & #3 in my cellar in terms of quantity) and I’ve enjoyed your recent notes.

Thanks Jim. You sound like a man of fine taste! My interests are primarily Alsace ( I have a very deep ZH collection ), Mosel, Vouvray, Champagne and the Piedmont and a couple of Rhone producers ( Chave and Bonneau ) for reds.

I used to post quite a bit on other forums but lost interest due to too much non-wine discussion. This place seems to have more of the feel of the old wine boards and I hope it stays that way. I plan to hang out here as much as time allows.

I look forward to your notes on the noble Riesling and Chenin Blanc based wines you drink.
