2008 Joh. Jos. Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (5/25/2017)
Pale yellow colored with peach aromas backed up by yellow apple. The flavors follow the nose with the addition of kefir lime. Lightweight and less sweet than the pradikat level would suggest. There’s a nice mineral streak and enough acid to keep the palate feeling fresh and balanced. Some creaminess, which should get more pronounced with time. Seems to be entering what should be a very long drinking window.

I recognize that 2008 is considered a Kab/Spat vintage, but based on tonight’s showing, I am glad to have more in my cellar. Less sweet than many Spats being produced today, it’s not a crime to drink now, but will improve with time.
