Seems a bit cleaner on the nose than its counterpart from the Sonnenuhr, with slightly sweaty notes but also mouthwatering honey and pineapple aromas. This is full, rich and mouthcoating, offering up complex flavors of melon, honey and musky spices that linger elegantly on the finish. Should evolve at least through 2030.——J.C.(4/1/2010)—— 94

Prum has hit a grand slam in 2005, with every bottling we’ve tasted coming in at 90-plus points. This offering has the house’s trademark yeasty, leesy scents, but also layer after layer of dense, slaty fruit balanced by crisp acidity. It’s a bit sweet for most dishes, but pairing it with foie gras or mild cheeses will allow it to shine. Should evolve gracefully for decades.——J.C.(6/2/2007)—— 97
