The Wine:
Again, the step up here is one of power rather than just sweetness. Riper and more intense is a more accurate way of describing what’s happening. The style remains pure and ultra-fine, and while the Spätlese wines revel in juicy intensity, this bracket offers more power, flesh, complexity and length. Balance is key to understanding the quality of Prüm’s 2022 Auslesen. These wines can sometimes be tricky to understand fully when young—not so for the 2022s; they already have the wow factor. Again, there is a big step up in intensity, and the difference between the vineyards shines through even more.
The Review:
Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com - 97pts
"Still very youthful on the nose, this is crammed with ripe peach, plus more delicate notes of pineapple and mangosteen. It’s a minor miracle that this kind of concentration can be packed into such a sleek, medium-bodied palate. What an amazing mouthfeel this has thanks to the seamless integration of slatey acidity and ripeness. Very long finish with spot-on balance. Drinkable now, but best from 2025."
