JJ Prum Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spatlese Museum Release 2018

Pre-arrival due August

An intensely flowery nose suggestive of honeysuckle and decadent lily also exhibits exotic ripeness of banana. Site-typical apple, Bing cherry and cassis join in on the palate for a succulent riot of fruit to accompany still-profuse inner-mouth perfume, while bittersweet, faintly smoky nut oils serve for complex counterpoint. The feel is remarkably creamy and the overall midpalate impression rich, yet the buoyantly sustained finish delivers cut, clarity and refreshment, all in spades, thanks to a generous infusion of fresh apple and lime reinforced by impeccably integrated sweetness. 93 points, David Schildknecht, Vinous

Cool and subtle with lots of white peach, nectarine and mandarin neatly filling the sleek package. Long, silky finish. Drink or hold. 94 points, Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com
