The 2015 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese from JJ Prüm is another exceptional effort made from this famous site in the Mosel, where the southwest-facing slopes are comprised of deep soils rich in blue slate, which give this wine its distinct mineral character. This instantly grabs your attention as it bursts open with incredible aromas of lime, white peach, apricot, green tea, jasmine and crushed stones. On the palate this demonstrates remarkable balance with a vibrant core of acidity and gorgeous streaks of minerality making it impossible to resist. This is a completely compelling wine from the Prüm family which certainly shows the potential for a long, bright future. (Best 2018-2036) - January, 2017 (JD)
