JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Auslese Goldkap 2011 Museum Release

Museum Release

“Pale golden yellow. Candied apricot, clove, nut oil and a touch of smoky botrytis on the nose. Creamy tropical fruit flavours are nicely accented by salty minerality. This impressively rich Auslese boasts a compelling finish animated by lemon curd and slate.” 93 points, Joel B. Payne, Vinous

“Candied, spiced apple and overripe Persian melon dominate the Prüm 2011 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese gold capsule, with honeyed impingement both aromatically and on the palate reinforcing the sense of relative opacity and rounded richness that the other Graachers in this year’s collection displayed. Here the sense of delicacy is nearly weightless; intriguing and enticing notes of liquid peony and lily enter the picture mid-palate after the wine takes on air; and for all of the botrytization in effect, there is a welcome retention of primary juiciness, spurring a lusciously long finish. Look for four decades or more of luxuriant satisfaction.” 92 points, David Schildknecht, The Wine Advocate
