Description
David Schildknecht: The Prum 2006 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling
Auslese is seductively scented with gardenia, hyacinth, and musky
exotic flowers that remind me of stepping into a greenhouse. These
are backed by very ripe pear and nectarine, while notes of botrytis
spice also nip at the nose. A soothing, polished, enveloping, sweet
and strikingly delicate palate gives equal representation to ripe,
subtly-dried fruit, sweet floral inner-mouth perfume and spices. As
usual at this address, retained CO2 and efficacious ripe acidity
keep the long finish lively, enhancing its wafting sense of
near-weightlessness. I suspect one could be happy following this
for 30 or more years. (There were two bottlings of this wine – one
this year – of which I tasted the first, A.P. #12 07.)
