Tasting Notes
Does not smell remotely sweet. Freshly squeezed lemon. And so much lemon on the palate that it tastes, at this stage, more deep cleansing than dessert. Icy ground rocks and lemon peel and monastic severity for an Auslese. Linear. Ignoring everyone. Stern beauty. Sep 2016, www.jancisrobinson.com, Drink: 2022-2035

This offers a gorgeous nose of yellow peach, honey, candy floss and herbs. The wine is hugely complex on the palate and leaves a superbly clean feel full of creamy exotic fruits and herbs in the impeccably balanced and long finish. Oct 2016, www.moselfinewines.com, Drink: 2025-2045
The 2015 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese (AP 16) displays a very clear, precise and flinty/smoky bouquet of perfectly ripe stone fruits and crushed stones, intertwined with lemon flavors. This Auslese is enormously mouth-watering, incredibly piquant and salty, with an endless flow of lush fruit juice and melting minerals. This is a great Riesling and a digestible, picture-book Auslese. Apr 2017, www.robertparker.com
