Parker about Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese 2017
The 2017 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese is deep, clear and flinty on the fascinating, elegant and complex nose. It is lush, precise, piquant and refined on the palate, with more transparency, freshness and crunchy slate minerality compared to the Bernkastel and Zeltingen. The wine is highly stimulating and salty, with concentrated grapefruit aromas. This wine is truly enchanting. Open the bottle and glou-glou... Tasted in March 2019.
Suckling over Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese 2017
So much gun flint and nutmeg on the nose here, and a garden's worth of white flowers and herbs. Meanwhile, the palate boasts a serious set of phenolics and impressive depth, married to detailed acidity and introvert limes — all of which means you barely notice the integrated line of off-dry sweetness. Drink now or cellar for decades.

On the palate, the 2017 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese demonstrates an impressive balance between sweetness and acidity. The lively acidity structure lends the wine freshness and elegance, while the delicate residual sweetness highlights the rich fruit aromas.
