Graacher Himmelreich Auslese Goldkap, Weingut Joh. Jos. Prum 2016

(Joh. Jos. Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese GK) This is still quite reductive at first and only timidly hints at exotic and concentrated notes of apricot, mango, guava and quince, pepped up by a fresher streak of grapefruit. The wine delivers smooth and delicately unctuous flavors of candied yellow fruits and strawberry juice on the deep and beautifully balanced palate. The finish is pure, fresh even if still loaded with quite some residual sugar in need of integration. This rich GK is quite a treat but it is one which will demand a lot of patience. The patience will be worth it. 2031-2056
