Description
The Mosel River Valley is probably the most famous and arguably the most admired wine region of Germany and J.J.Prum are renowned for producing some of the world ™s finest rieslings with a history dating back to 1156! Their wines typically need several years to start showing their best and can live and develop for decades. The Badstube typically produces the most exotically fruited of the three single site Kabinetts. Its wonderfully floral. delicate. minerally and incredibly concentrated yet with cool. punchy zestiness. This is J.J. Prüm with the volume turned up loud. A must for the Riesling lover!
“Crushed stone. sage. green tea. as well as black tea smokiness envelop the fresh apple. cherry and lime aromas of a Prum 2011 Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Kabinett. but fruit comes to the fore on an infectiously juicy. buoyant. and satin textured palate. with smoky. herbal. alkaline and crushed stone elements setting up a positively shimmering sense of dynamic interactivity that persists into a bracing and succulently sustained finish. The residual sugar here is impeccably integrated. as was the case with the corresponding generic Kabinett (and in fact. at just over 30 grams. it ‘s analytically only a tad higher). and even at 9.5% alcohol this positively dances across your tongue. Look to be charmed for at least the better part of two decades by this excellent value. ” 92 points. David Schildknecht. Wine Advocate #206
