Other Reviews....
The Prum 2009 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese mingles spiced apple, papaya, pink grapefruit, cassis, and white raisin in a lush, creamily-textured, pungently botrytis-tinged performance full-throated from nose through peacock’s finishing flourish, and hard to beat for sheer diversity and audacity of fruit. If you’re looking for nuance of for characteristics that might be described as in any sense “mineral,” then perhaps in a dozen years you’ll find them here, otherwise search elsewhere. But in reality this is a wine that deserves a long time in the cellar and is apt to retain and add to its present virtues over a 30 year period.

This is a beauty. The wine is airy and refined, yet exhibits an exotic touch in the form of subdued notes of pineapple, yellow fruits and mango blended into sappy notes of peach and gooseberry. It is remarkably delineated on the palate, with great aromatic depth and precision. The finish is sappy, airy with great intensity in the after-taste. This is very much work in progress and could easily warrant a higher rating with further aromatic integration and presence. 2019-2034
