JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Spatlese WK 2017 (750ML)

95 JS / 94 WA / 16.5+ JR

So much gun flint and nutmeg on the nose here, and a garden’s worth of white flowers and herbs. Meanwhile, the palate boasts a serious set of phenolics and impressive depth, married to detailed acidity and introvert limes — all of which means you barely notice the integrated line of off-dry sweetness. Drink now or cellar for decades. - James Suckling

The 2017 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese is deep, clear and flinty on the fascinating, elegant and complex nose. It is lush, precise, piquant and refined on the palate, with more transparency, freshness and crunchy slate minerality compared to the Bernkastel and Zeltingen. The wine is highly stimulating and salty, with concentrated grapefruit aromas. This wine is really enchanting. Open the bottle and glou-glou... Tasted in March 2019. Stephan Reinhardt - The Wine Advocate

Light, sponti nose with great finesse of pure fruit. Only half-formed! Lovely and pure and distinctive though. - Jancis Robinson
