Parker about Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule 2023
The 2023 Bernkasteler Lay Auslese (Gold Capsule) is deep, fresh and savory on the crunchy, lemon-scented and honeyed nose that combines reductive with coolish wet stone and saline notes. Very refined and elegant on the palate, this is a playful, crystalline and weightless yet also rich and sweet but stimulating crystalline selection with lush yet finessed fruit and a long, well-balanced and very elegant finish. It's highly salivating and irresistible even at this young stage. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 14 24 in January 2025.

Pure silk on the medium-bodied palate, where the concentration great slowly creeps up on you, building to a fantastic crescendo with a pink grapefruit freshness that's unique in this category. You can drink it now, but then you will miss some of the greatness that's still locked inside this treasure chest.

Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule 2023
The Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel 2023 from Joh. Jos. Prüm is a fascinating, complex masterpiece that perfectly reflects the elegance and power of a great Mosel Riesling. On the nose, the wine displays an intense bouquet of ripe yellow fruits such as peach, apricot, and honeydew melon, accompanied by aromas of candied lemon, orange blossom, and a hint of tropical pineapple. Delicate honey notes and the typical mineral slate spice lend the aroma additional depth and refinement.
On the palate, the Auslese unfolds with a harmonious balance between opulent sweetness and precise, lively acidity, giving the wine an almost prancing freshness. The fruit remains clear and brilliant, with hints of ripe mango, yellow apple, and a touch of herbal spice. The fine minerality of the Bernkasteler Lay lends the wine additional complexity and structure, which continues into the long, elegant finish with saline freshness and subtle spice.
This wine displays remarkable finesse and will gain complexity over time, ensuring it will continue to fascinate for years to come, both in its youth and with increasing maturity. The Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel 2023 is a magnificent Mosel Riesling with immense aging potential, a masterpiece from Joh. Jos. Prüm in every respect.
