Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 4, 2017 - Pale lemon-yellow, initial tiny bubbles on pouring; nose is moderately aromatic with lemon-lime, prominent minerality, stony, still reductive; palate is light bodied, high bracing acidity throughout, fruit seems a bit reticent today, some reduction notable on the palate; medium finish. Overall though the balance is good, this wine seems more shut down than expected today. My last 2 bottles will need to wait 5-10 years. 91 (In comparison to other Prum 2015, this was weaker than the W-S Kabinett and Spatlese).
Decanted 2 hours to try to improve the reduction. Nose is a bit fruitier with white peach; palate has a bit less effervescence but still excellent acidity. Overall an even tradeoff, and the wine is still good but not exceptional like I was hoping. There is still a little reduction, so this may need a half decade to a decade of age.
Day 2: Reduction is a bit better, showing more white peach and fruit today. Still has much room to develop and still a step down from the other Prum bottlings in 2015.
