J.J. Prum Graacher Himmelreich Gold Capsule Riesling Auslese 2020

Description

Sweet aromas of stone fruits fill the nose. Elegant and well-balanced on the palate with refreshing acidity and delicate minerality. This Riesling goes well with Asian cuisine or many richer courses. The 2020 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese (Gold Capsule) is finely concentrated and deep on the clear and crisp, even refreshing and discreetly phenolic nose that adds a spicy and coolish, even slightly greenish nuance. Lush and round on the palate and running down the throat immediately, this is a savory, dense and very elegant Auslese, with a salty, grippy and salivating, long, concentrated and irresistible finish. 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Here’s a great Mosel classic that’s just beginning a life that will stretch decades into the future. So much jasmine and honeysuckle that it’s hard to believe this is a rich wine with plenty of natural grape sweetness. Wonderfully delicate floral-honey flavors on the silky and filigree palate that has expertly underplayed power. Super-long finish with tantalizing succulence. Drinkable now, but best from 2023. A pretty white, this exudes elderflower, peach, lime, cumin and slate aromas and flavors. Creamy and elegant, with lively acidity providing structure and definition. Very consistent from beginning to end. Drink now through 2045.
