Description
93 points Mosel Fine Wines: “AP: 08 19. The 2018er Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese was harvested at just above 90° Oechsle and was fermented down to fully fruity-styled levels of residual sugar. This offers a gorgeously elegant nose of mirabelle, greengage, dried herbs and earthy spices, all wrapped into some residual scents of spontaneous fermentation. The wine is gorgeously filigreed on the palate before a nice touch of creamy fruits joins the party in the finish. 2028-2038. (Jun 2019)”
93 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): “Quite smoky with flint and chalk that work rather well with the notes of dried citrus and spices. Medium dry with a deep serving of acidity and peach and stone flavors. Finely tuned and sleek. Drink in 2022. (12/16/19)”
93 points Wine Spectator: “[$47 list] A luscious, velvety spätlese, featuring concentrated ripe apricot, orange marmalade and graham cracker notes, balanced by intense acidity, with hints of honey and sage cream on the finish. Very giving right now, and will only get better. Best from 2021 through 2036. 300 cases imported. (4/30/20)”
