JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spatlese 2020 (1.5L)

$225.00

Pre-arrival due August

An utterly complete Graacher. Elemental, balanced, perfectly weighted and a decisive scale up in size, weight and structure. Extremely complex aromatics of jasmine, smoke, mushroom compost, lime, lemon, kiwifruit, blackcurrant and yellow peach. Blackcurrant and darker fruits are notable in 2020 and the wines remain markedly cool and scintillating. Rich and powerful and again that scale up in size compared to the Kabinett. Hints of spice, a subtle squeeze in phenolics and the addition of ripe, luscious pawpaw. Very long carry, penetrating and driven by absorbed acidity. One of the best. Waters Wine Co

 

“The 2020er Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese offers a quite rich and even slightly ripe nose of almond cream and bakery products as well as honeyed yellow peach, William’s pear, apricot, and anise, all wrapped into smoky and refined elements. The wine coats the palate with ample and sweet fruits, which give a smoother and ampler structure to the wine. The finish has however more presence and intensity, but still needs to integrate its tale of initial sweetness. This clearly has some upside potential as it gains finesse and elegance over time. 2028-2045.” 92+ points, Mosel Fine Wines Issue 59

“Rare is it to have a wine of such impeccable balance that it becomes impossible to break it down into its individual elements. Even more rare is to have that wine be a Spätlese. Yet there we are. And here it is. Cool, radiant aromas of pure citrus sunshine. Meadow flowers, vineyard peach and through it all a long, thriving stony energy.” 17 points, Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com
