Much topper flavors that in the 2023 Kabinett tasted alongside, but this wine is not that much sweeter. Instead the lime, green apple and pear of the Kabinett are replaced with vibrant peach, apricot and a touch of green pineapple. Mango and papaya hover in the miss with vibrant honeysuckle, wet stonestone and flint. Vibrant acidity frames the abundant fruit - it’s a real triumph but needs three or four years to really show its depth and intensity. Lovely wine and incredibly long on the palate.

Sweet aromas of ripe peaches, nectarines and honey, hints of petrol too. Dissolved CO2 still very present, cutting nicely through its generous style (rich Auslese level + 2003, being a hot year). Delicious with Chiangmai style sausage

Then came the #Auslese and the room got really quiet like a seance as it reached €110 per bottle & strangely €70 per half bottle & €260 per magnum--CRAZY! #Auction #VDP #JJPrüm

The fruit in this is quite excellent. Some stoney minerality and a lovely bit of residual sweetness...
