We had Katrina Prum in Graileys yesterday to show us her newest releases. The wines were sensational! I love the bone dry style of the Kabinetts and the searing acidity that came with them….
2009 JJ Prum Kabinett – Exciting on the nose and palate with lemon lime zest, apricot, and a great minerality that lasted long into the finish.
2010 JJ Prum Kabinett – The 2010 was slightly more acidic than the 09 as well as being more linier in style. Great apricot and peach fruit notes with strong mineral flavors and a brilliant acidic display.
2009 JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett – Slightly round in style with a moderate acidity and great tropical fruit notes. The mineral went from slate to marl and the nose developed a white floral note towards the end.
2008 JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett – This was my wine of the lot, great acidity with radiant minerality and lots of character on the palate. White slate with lilies and tulips on the finish.
2009 JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese – A nice little sweet wine. The acidity balanced out the slight sweetness on this wine walking the razor edge that great Rieslings always do. Lovely finish of tropical fruit and lemon zest.
