The Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel 2023 from Joh. Jos. Prüm is a true masterpiece that reflects the elegance and complexity of the Mosel at its finest. The nose unfolds with an opulent yet finely balanced bouquet of ripe yellow fruits such as peach, apricot, and honeydew melon, accompanied by delicate aromas of orange blossom, tropical pineapple, and candied citrus fruits. A subtle hint of blossom honey and a remarkable slate minerality round out the aroma. On the palate, the Auslese presents a perfect balance of sweet, concentrated fruit and a lively, almost sparkling acidity that lends the wine impressive freshness and structure. The fruit remains crystal clear and precise, with hints of ripe mango, honey, and a subtle herbal spice. The wine is simultaneously opulent and smooth, with the mineral character adding additional depth. The finish is long, velvety, and carried by a saline freshness that ensures tremendous elegance and longevity. This Goldkapsel Auslese not only has incredible charisma in its youth, but will also gain complexity and finesse with age, underscoring its enormous aging potential. An incomparable Riesling that ranks among the finest in the Mosel.
