Parker about Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule 2022
The 2022 Bernkasteler Lay Auslese (Gold Capsule) is clear, deep, fresh and coolish on the savory and saline nose that shows a flinty slate expression and intertwines with attractive yellow stone fruit (mango, mirabelle) aromas. Round and mouth-filling on the palate, this is a very elegant, lush and intense, stimulating saline and savory selection with delicate grip and fine tension. It's generous yet crunchy in its fine tannins and stony/saline grip. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 19 23 in January 2025.

Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule 2022

The Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel 2022 from Joh. Jos. Prüm is an expressive and precise Riesling with delicate sweetness and impressive structure. The nose unfolds a complex interplay of aromas of ripe peach, candied lemon, and dried apricot, accompanied by honey notes and a fine slate minerality. The palate reveals a harmonious balance between intense fruit sweetness and lively, well-integrated acidity, lending the wine freshness and elegance. The texture is silky, with great depth and an almost weightless lightness. The long, multifaceted finish is characterized by exotic fruit hints, fine spice, and a subtle saline note. A high-quality, aging-worthy Riesling that will continue to refine over time.
