Note di degustazione
We finished with the 2012 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese from Joh. Jos. Prüm. This is complex and engaging on the nose with scents of yellow plum, nectarine, linseed oil and orange pith, all beautifully defined. The palate was on the sweeter side of the Spätlese spectrum, which is exactly what I wanted. Slightly viscous on the entry, this is succinctly balanced with just enough acidic bite, poised and spicy towards the lingering finish. It seems to be in a perfect place after a decade, though it will give another decade’s drinking pleasure.

AP number 03 14. Water white. Extremely transparent and wet stony on the nose. Super juicy and featherlight. There is magic here. In fact this seems much more delicate than some Prüm Graachers. A delight already. (JR)
The 2012 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spatlese (AP #03 14) starts clear, ripe and flinty on the nose and reveals a very pure but concentrated and intense bouquet with crushed black chocolate aromas, lemon and grapefruit flavors. Sweet, piquant and juicy on the palate, this is a very elegant mouthful of wine with good expression and complexity and a fresh and salty finish. Its aging potential is terrific. If you like your Spätlese rather lean, fresh and piquant you should definitely try this Himmelreich.
Smoky and minerally. Cool, fresh lemon fruit, great finesse and delicacy for a Spätlese. Refined. GV
