Tasting Notes

WS94

Concentrated peach, apricot and jellied citrus flavors are deep and rich, and this is intensely creamy midpalate, with plenty of anise-tinged smoke notes. The exotic finish of ripe pineapple is long and fruity. Best from 2013 through 2032.

WA92

The Prum 2009 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese gold capsule – which is not an auction wine – is remarkably redolent of pure honey from its aroma; through its glazed, glycerin-rich, subtly oily palate impression; to a soothing, nearly ineradicable finish. Lemon and apple candy; vanilla cream; and creme de cassis all add to the confectionary richness on display here. Those with a decidedly sweet tooth will be more impressed with this than my score might otherwise predict. (For me, the 2008 is magic by comparison.) I’d forget this in the cellar for 20 years and anticipate 15-20 years active performing career after that.
