2015 Riesling, Auslese, Graacher Himmelreich, Goldkapsel, Joh. Jos. Prüm, Mosel, Germany

What makes this stand out is the gigantic mineral freshness that's perfectly married to its richness. This gives the finish a whole extra dimension lacking in the majority of 2015 Auslese. The nose still needs some time to open, and this will be so much more effusive from 2019. Hoping to live to experience it at its mature peak in a couple of decades.james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (Jun 2017)

Surely the snow queen of Auslese Goldkaps? Introvert and smoky. A fine-boned delicacy - like a feather dipped in apricot syrup and frozen into a snowflake. At the same time there's apricot kernel and a hint of deliciously ripe fruit, voluptuousness all but hidden under a cloak of coruscating acidity. Pain and pleasure.

Pale gold. Stones and slate, lime peel and some herbal lift. Laser-like acidity pins you down, bringing a slew of slate, spice and lime fruit. Cancels out the sweetness with ease. Savoury and long. Such intensity!Tim Jackson MW, JancisRobinson.com (Feb 2019)
