Just brilliant. So incredibly complex and dynamic and yet joyful to drink.

Wow. Brilliant. A wine that changes constantly. Sappy and intense. Powerful yet lithe. So deep. Tertiary nose yet as it airs it gets younger.

No formal notes but fucking glorious and could last 20+ more years.

Considering its age, this ’99 Prüm Auslese was incredibly fresh and rather elegant for a middle Mosel. Granted, it was not a Goldkapsel wine, which would definitely have been much sweeter, but many ‘99s can lack structure and seem top-heavy or flabby. Not this lovely bottle. Drinks like an opulent Spätlese with perfect balance…a perfect match with spicy Asian cuisine.

Good as always but a bit one dimensional & predictable.

'99 Mosels have retained their innate elegance and finesse despite a very ripe vintage, and have turned out to be classics that will keep on going and going as long as you don't run out--HOW SAD😞

These classic middle #Mosels need plenty of bottle age to show their true potential...drinkable now but only going to improve with further cellaring.
