Drink 0-0, David Schildknecht, Vinous
Along with Sonnenuhr-typical apple and vanilla, there is an incipiently caramelized peachy character and candied red fruit. Diversity of fruit flavors is certainly a forte of both Prüm Auslesen I tasted. Notes of botrytis spice, fruit skin and vanilla combine for subtly bitter and tart finishing notes that help balance the sweetness. Like other of the Prüm 2000s, this also displays a lot of primary yeastiness.
