| Description: | 95 Wa / 91 Vm / 16.5 JR. The 2016 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese (ap 08 17) is discreet and smoky on the deep, well-defined nose. Juicy-piquant and salty on the well-structured and refreshingly mineral palate, the Himmelreich is tight and expressive, with the sweetness superbly balanced by the spicy, grippy phenols/minerals. This is a really complex Spätlese that is highly stimulating today and will still be so in 20 or 30 years. - Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate. Despite a faintly cheesy, reductive "Mosel stink," fresh apple and pineapple project a penetratingly fragrant as well as tangy personality to this polished, glossy, buoyant bottling. For now, it lacks the clarity, precision or interest of the corresponding Kabinett, but it's obviously early days, especially in consideration of the glacial pace at which Prüm wines often evolve. Certainly, though, there is admirable and refreshing sheer length. - David Schildknecht, Vinous Media. Luscious yet restrained by strapping acidity giving a crisp citrus finish. Has a certain lightness on the palate which can't help give the impression that something is missing. - Richard Hemming Mw, JancisRobinson.com |
