Coming Soon - 2024 Joh Jos Prum Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel

Other Reviews...
The 2024 Bernkasteler Lay Auslese (Gold Capsule) is generous but refined and elegant on the nose that indicates a certain phenol spiciness and displays exotic fruit aromas such as lychee. Lush but refined and with highly delicate and persistently saline acidity, this is a weightless yet also intense and complex Auslese with a long, structured and stimulating finish. This is a generous Auslese that will benefit from further bottle aging. AP 13 25. 7.5AP % stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in March 2026. Drink 2030-2070.

Stephan Reinhardt - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2024 Riesling Bernkasteler Lay Auslese Goldkapsel was made with botrytized fruit from bunches in various stages of shriveling. A slight touch of honey precedes notes of crushed peach flesh and peach compote, while a tropical frisson suggests some passion fruit. The concentrated palate homes in on those gorgeously ripe and aromatic stone fruit scents with a tart, alluring edge. The 2024 is exquisitely delineated, absolutely pure and precise, with heightened expressions of clear fruit enhanced and clarified rather than obliterated by botrytis. The 2024 is gorgeous. Finesse is everything here. Drink 2030-2065.

The deep nose of candied citrus and dried flowers pulls you into this very succulent and firmly structured Auslese. The floral honey character and creaminess from botrytis is beautifully interwoven with the salty and wet-stone minerality. Incredibly long and refined finish with great honeyed complexity. Limited production due to spring frost damage. Drink or hold.
