Vintage 2020 | Flint, strawberry, sweet plum. This wine has the swallow-factor, beautiful concentration, soft first impression, elegance. Definitely: like! Very balanced wine. Winefriend @Berry Marinussen gave a big compliment, the wine made him think of Burgundy - “I would not recognize this wine as German spätburgunder” — a year ago
The slightest tint of rosé in the glass. Smells like the better qualities of champagne- roses and grapefruit pith. Refreshing acidity and tartness (too much tartness for the American pallette?) and there is no denying that minerality. For my friend Shin there are even 'hints of strawberry' in the long finish.
I have a real soft spot for the Ahr regions slate wines. And all for €11 a bottle. — 2 years ago
So earthy! I smell red cherry tree sap or bark, candy cap mushroom.
Surprisingly austere and tannic fine tannins light in the mouth, but it's also comforting in a similar way that good scotch is comforting after it goes down. — 4 months ago
Citrus, minerality. Great acidity that balances the RS. Delicious. — a year ago
Almost has the fruity nose of a Beaujolais - some of that popping fresh red fruit and a hint of bubblegum.
Nice balance on the tongue of tart ripe fruit and acid. Some oak to give it all a little sense of maturity. — 8 months ago
2018. Sommelier was pouring two very different wines with their Vermont Quail, kale, butternut squash, cranberry, and hot honey. My daughter and I split our pours because she really liked the J.J. Prüm Spätlese we had last week and she loved this one too. — 3 years ago

Top of the line Spätburgunder from my favorite Ahr region (NW) German wine maker.
This is elegantly austere - a fantastic representative style of the cold region.
If memory serves me right this was from the year before the floods so the last year to be aged in the 100+ year old oak barrels. — 24 days ago
