Note di degustazione
The 2018 Riesling Kabinett Graacher Himmelreich has a lovely nose of orange blossom, peach skin and linden, just a touch of Vervane tea in the background. The palate is quite intense with impressive acidity for the vintage, harmonious and builds wonderfully towards the finish. Just utterly composed from start to finish, yet only in the opening pages of its story. Tasted at the Amos Bursary charity dinner at 67 Pall Mall.

From behind yeasty fermentative notes emerge scents of lemon, apple and wet stone. The midpalate impression is sleek and lithe, delivering a lemon- and vanilla-cream-like sense of richness but also abundant, bright juiciness. The buoyantly and refreshingly lingering finish adeptly integrates the wine’s considerable residual sugar while displaying delightful transparency to stony and alkaline nuances. Incidentally, acidity here is not quite eight grams, yet, as indicated, the wine by no means lacks for tang or animation.
This is very pure and offers aromas of ripe nectarines and limes with a stony edge. The palate has a beautifully fleshy feel with succulent white peaches on offer. The balance is good here, as is the freshness. Drink now.
More fumy and herbal on the nose than the Wollenweider Wolfer Goldgrube just tasted but with wonderfully pure and crisp ripe lemon on the palate. Terrific intensity and still mouth-watering on the finish. (JH)
