"The scents that rise from a glass of Prum 2010 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese long gold capsule make my nose hairs stand to attention, and pretty soon the rest of me is tempted to follow suit. Aromatically almost ominous in its penetrating suggestions of apple jack, pear distillate, quince preserves, lemon rind, and smoky black tea, this comes onto the palate like a cymbal crash of fruit concentrates, and finishes with Eiswein-like high-voltage incandescence."
