TN: 2001 Joh. Jos. Prum Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spatlese

Thanks for the note, ArieS.

The 05 BB Spat from Prum is a stunning wine and is available for about $30 per bottle. (at least I think it's still available). If you haven't picked any up, now's the time.

Oh trust me grossie, I have some.
Got them on prearrival.
I remember reading your notes a few months ago.
I have some Auslesen too.
Prum is an absolute don't miss in '05.

I thought you did, but I was too lazy to search it through.

I have a bunch of 05 Prums (>2 cases), but I'm considering more! For the $$ these are hard to beat.

• 2001 Joh. Jos. Prüm Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spätlese - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (8/29/2009)
  – popped and poured –
  – tasted non-blind over 1 hour –
  – AP: 2 576 511 11 02 –
  
  NOSE: incredibly expressive notes of petrol and peach are supported by a slight pineapple and pear aromas. I’d be happy just smelling this wine.
  
  BODY: initial spritz dissipates quickly; golden amber-yellow color; medium-light bodied.
  
  TASTE: apple; pretty one-note/not terribly complex; good minerality; palate not as complex as the nose; very nicely balanced; a bit mouth-watering; fig on finish (40-50 sec.); 8% alc. not noticeable. A very nice Spat. that seems to be in a wonderful place right now.
  
  B: 50, 5, 13, 16, 7 = (91 pts.)
