[SOLD-OUT] JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spatlese 2016

Wine Advocate 95 Points!

“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.”

"Something has changed chez Prüm. It is fair to say that in years gone by the very young wines of JJ Prüm where quite difficult to assess because of their wild and funky smell (that we no longer associate with sulphur, but rather the result of spontaneous fermentation). There was none of that with the 2016 Himmelreich Spätlese, which offered a very clean and fresh fragrance of candied orange and totally juicy citrus flavour, supported by animating acidity and tactile mineral edge on the finish."
