Score 93/100 · Drink 2020-2035, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, Feb 2015

The 2013 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese starts very clear and subtle on the nose where the finest slate and bright fruit aromas are displayed with a dash of lemon juice. Lean and full of finesse, yet also deep, well concentrated, nicely juicy and piquant on the palate, this sweet and piquant Riesling develops a great intensity along with a lingering, tension-filled salinity. There is a beautiful grip and lovely fruitiness in the extremely stimulating and almost drying finish, which promises excellent aging potential.

Stony grapefruit aroma. Just a little reductive, and attractively so. Riper stone fruit on the palate but still with a strong mineral edge, like a well-sharpened sword. Good fruit concentration and persistence. GV (JH)
