JJ Prum 2021 - The Return of Cool
The 2021 vintage is one of the coolest in the past decade and reminds Katharina Prum of vintages in the 80s. For me, stylistically, 2016 comes to mind. It is a classic year for Kabinett and Spatlese. Several wines were not produced and there were no Goldkapsel wines. - Ian Cook, FWC.
The 2021 vintage was a reminiscent of yesteryear, with many similarities to the cooler vintages seen locally. Having tried all of these last Tuesday, we can report that they are some the most refined and elegant wines from Prum in recent memory. - Jeremy Muller, FWC.
“Katharina Prüm and her team have managed to get the best out of the 2021 vintage and have translated its lightness and finesse in the most brilliant way… the estate’s 2021s are racy, vibrant, and pure, and share a remarkable energetic side. lovers of fine and elegant wines will love the estate’s 2021s.” Jean Fisch and David Rayer, Mosel Fine Wines.
JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Auslese Goldkap 2011 Museum Release
Museum Release
“Pale golden yellow. Candied apricot, clove, nut oil and a touch of smoky botrytis on the nose. Creamy tropical fruit flavours are nicely accented by salty minerality. This impressively rich Auslese boasts a compelling finish animated by lemon curd and slate.” 93 points, Joel B. Payne, Vinous
“Candied, spiced apple and overripe Persian melon dominate the Prüm 2011 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese gold capsule, with honeyed impingement both aromatically and on the palate reinforcing the sense of relative opacity and rounded richness that the other Graachers in this year’s collection displayed. Here the sense of delicacy is nearly weightless; intriguing and enticing notes of liquid peony and lily enter the picture mid-palate after the wine takes on air; and for all of the botrytization in effect, there is a welcome retention of primary juiciness, spurring a lusciously long finish. Look for four decades or more of luxuriant satisfaction.” 92 points, David Schildknecht, The Wine Advocate
