Oh man. This Kabinett Riesling went up against the likes of a Slovenian Chardonnay, Alsatian Gentil and Sauvigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru, and was by far the favorite of the bunch. From the awesome 2002 vintage, Joh. Jos. Prüm used many of the leftover fruits that didn't make it into its Spatlese, and put it in this Kabinett. It seems sweet, but it's deceptively dry. Complex, with honeymelon, baked nectarine and peach, followed by slate, schiste and spice, with a long finish.
