2007 Joh. Jos. Prum Riesling Kabinett Graacher Himmelreich Mosel: "Elegant and stylish, revealing floral, lime, slate and saline notes allied to a gossamer frame. There's an intensity that dissipates slowly, with a mouthwatering aftertaste. Drink now through 2022." 91 points - Wine Spectator, March 31, 2009
"Under an initial leesy funk, you'll find ample apple and lime aromas. On the palate, this is a plump, succulent wine, enlivened with a touch of residual CO2 and boasting apple, vanilla and citrus flavors layered over a minerally foundation. Long and creamy-textured on the finish." - 91 points, Wine Enthusiast, Oct 2009
The Prum 2007 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett smells of fresh apple, lemon, cassis, narcissus, and pungent fresh herbs. Domprobst-typical toasted nuttiness combines with high-toned herbal, floral, and citric elements on a feather-light and delightfully invigorating palate. The Bernkasteler displays more grip, whereas this glides away in a long finish.
The characteristics of great Riesling from the Prum estate coincide with one of the most striking virtues of 2007 Mosel Rieslings in general, namely the ability to combine intensity of aroma and flavor with delicacy, and caressing richness with vivacity. In a sense, the best wines in this year’s collection are like Prum-squared in their distinctiveness and expressivity. Manfred Prum acknowledges good reasons for the widespread comparison of 2007 with 2004, and thinks the present vintage also shares the richness of 2005. Notoriously little attention is paid at this address to dry-tasting wines, and I was unfortunately not able to taste either a Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spatlese trocken or a Bernkasteler Badstube Spatlese feinherb. Nobly sweet wines which I have not yet tasted include Wehlener Sonnenuhr auction Spatlese, gold capsule Auslese, and Beerenauslese; a Graacher Himmelreich long gold capsule Auslese, and a Bernkasteler Badstube Eiswein. 90 points, The Wine Advocate #183 JUNE 2009
