"The Prum 2009 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese mingles spiced apple, papaya, pink grapefruit, cassis, and white raisin in a lush, creamily-textured, pungently botrytis-tinged performance full-throated from nose through peacockâs finishing flourish, and hard to beat for sheer diversity and audacity of fruit. If youâre looking for nuance of for characteristics that might be described as in any sense âmineral,â then perhaps in a dozen years youâll find them here, otherwise search elsewhere. But in reality this is a wine that deserves a long time in the cellar and is apt to retain and add to its present virtues over a 30 year period."
