This wine was a birthday treat and simply… wow.
Popped and poured, I was immediately struck by its golden color and the extremely fresh aromas that jumped out of the glass. Nose of peaches, apples, caramel, wet stone minerality, and a hint of petrol that blew off shortly after opening. On the palette, it was medium bodied with notes of ripe apples, nectarines, and butterscotch with a honeyed sweetness that was perfectly balanced by the wine’s crisp acidity. Very long and delicious finish, I was shocked at how youthful this wine was for a 20 year old bottle. Could easily go for another 20, but it was in a great spot where it was just starting to show its tertiary notes right now. Extremely balanced and downright delicious.

Awesome bottle from one of the best producers in the Mosel – did this come from a friend, or out of your cellar? Jealous, either way!
Amazing. I’ve had a few bottles of the “goldkapsel” version of this wine. 1 bottle left.
I’ve got one bottle left I need to drink!
Prum always delivers

Magnificent.
I had three of this exact vintage. Drank one and it was absolutely stunning. Pair with a fatty pork dish and you’ll be in heaven.

Are the more recent years of this just as good and worth buying?
