Description

97 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): “What a fantastic bouquet! The 2016 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese Gold Capsule is super deep, intense and precise on the nose where flinty/stony notes and very fine (and slightly spicy) raisin and grapefruit aromas are displayed. Rich, lush and super sexy on the palate, with highly delicate but intense and persistent fruit and very fine salinity, this is a gorgeous Auslese from the winner of the 2016 vintage chez Prüm: Graacher Himmelreich. This gold-capsuled Auslese (AP 10 17) is rich, finessed and almost weightless in its intensity. The salty and piquant acidity is alive and kicking. You can hardly produce a better Auslese in this delicate and filigreed style. 8% alcohol. Drink: 2018-2045. (Apr 2018)”

95 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): “The 2016 Himmelreich Gold Kap Auslese is going to be outstanding. The bouquet has a beautiful sheen of clean botrytis in its constellation of peach, tangerine, salty minerality, citrus zest and a lovely topnote of lilacs. On the palate the wine is crisp, fullish and beautifully balanced, with impressive mid-palate depth, impeccable balance, zesty acids and great backend energy and bounce on the complex and focused finish. Fine, fine juice.2026-2085+. (May/Jun 2018)”

94 points Wine Spectator: “[$135 list] A bit creamy, yet elegant, showing lots of freshness and vibrancy, with juicy acidity cutting through the ripe flavors of peach and apple, combined with notes of Key lime pie and sweet spice. Features a vivid structure, showing terrific integration and a long, detailed, velvety finish. Drink now through 2038. 40 cases made. (5/31/18)”
