Community Tasting Note

Monday, April 15, 2024 - Excitement grows as an 01 Prum is pulled from the cellar and placed in the fridge to chill. It does not disappoint, so full of energy and joy as it is, it’s like a honey drizzled bowl of limes with ginger zest and petrol highlights. Still shows youthful, stacked with body and brightness to balance the fruit and sweetness. Only its seamlessness reveals its 20+ years of maturation. Hard to find any fault here, true to the vintage but truer to the house style. Terrific.

Day 3: This is now really singing! The bouquet has come to life with richness and spice, redolent of honey, ginger, chamomile tea, and pomelo zest. The palate is more overtly sweet as well but with the requisite acidity to balance sugar. Delicious, long finish with a hint of bitterness like an apple skin.

Clearly, not ‘ready’ for peak drinking on the pop and pour. Will probably liquid joy for decades to come.
