Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

JJ Prüm, Bernkasteler Lay, Riesling, Auslese, Goldkap, 2016

Beautifully clear white peaches and nectarines with fresh creamed honey, white flowers and lemon blossom. Wonderfully pure, clean, fresh fruit flavours. When the conditions allow, the Lay vineyard produces gentle, floral and very seductive noble sweet wines that are very attractive in their youth.

David Schildknecht, Vinous

Dark cherry mingles with root beer and an infusion of mint in this forwardly fragrant and luscious, envelopingly rich Auslese. Suggestions of honeydew melon liqueur, candied green herbal concentrates and a touch of salted caramel add to the opulent, overripe impression conveyed on a glycerol-rich palate, leading to a concentrated and impressively sustained finish, albeit one that carries a bit more obvious sense of sheer sweetness than is typical at this address. Thankfully, a sense of juicy fresh-fruitedness persists as well.
