Parker about Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese 2001
The bigger, thicker, broader 2001 Riesling Spatlese Graacher Himmelreich is the masculine, broad-shouldered brother of the feminine, elegant Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese. White chocolate, sage, smoky minerals, and poached pears can be found in its rich aromas. Medium-bodied, velvety-textured, and soft, it is a large, dense offering with copious quantities of poached pear, slate, gun flint, candied lemon and red currant flavors.

Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese 2001
The Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese 2001 from JJ Prüm is an outstanding example of the quality and potential of wines from the renowned Mosel region. This traditional winery is known for its first-class Rieslings, and the 2001 vintage is among its finest.
The wine presents a bright golden yellow in the glass, indicating its maturity and quality. A complex bouquet unfolds on the nose, combining ripe peaches and apricots with fresh citrus notes. Typical of the Mosel region, mineral notes from the slate soil contribute to the wine's depth and elegance. Subtle honey notes and floral nuances of white blossoms are also noticeable.
On the palate, the Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese 2001 continues its impressive aromatics. The balance between natural sweetness and lively, well-integrated acidity is perfectly achieved. The fruity notes of peach and citrus harmonize perfectly with the pronounced minerality, which gives the wine an elegant structure. The finish is long and complex, with a harmonious interplay of fruit and minerality.
This Riesling has remarkable aging potential and can be stored for decades. With increasing maturity, even deeper and more complex aromas develop, reminiscent of dried fruits, honey, and spices, further intensifying the enjoyment of this wine.
