    December 4, 2022 - Light straw coloured. Baked lemon and a hint of honey on the nose. The sugar is finely integrated in a very linear, suave and elegant wine where the tasting curve is straight as a lazer beam. Not a showy wine, but quietly impressive. On the borderline of outstanding, but surely excellent. I guess the moderate fruit of the vintage has made this come around more quickly than most Joh. Jos. spätlese - notoriously slow to mature as they are. This was surely worth waiting for.

    December 3, 2022 - Little development since last tasted five years ago: Aromas of flowers, minerals and some petroleum. Extremely elegant, as always with this producer. Sweet, sleek and delicate on the palate. The flower and mineral aromas became more expressive after a while.

    October 23, 2021 - When you pull the cork out on this, the smell that starts spreading through the room is the Garden of Eden. I don't know if they had rad flowers there, but it was paradise after all. Honeysuckle, iris, chamomile soaked in the ripest of peaches. Acidity, minerality and sweet density banging through the roof. You know it's outstanding stuff when that wave of freshness hits your sinuses on the very first sip and starts flowing down throughout your body. Vibrant and so, so exciting. Why don't we drink Riesling ALL THE TIME?

    February 20, 2021 - Just a hint of darkening, mild petrol on the nose. Bright and weightless on entry, with plenty of richness following on the midpalate. Very true to the producer/site combo. Slightly honeyed, with good balance and integration, especially of the residual sugar. Could use more length on the finish, but otherwise lovely.

    (J.J. Prum Graacher Himmelreich Spatlese) A touch of sulfur, decaying leaves and flowers peeking through. Very concentrated and pure with a sliken-like texture and wonderful elegance. Just gorgeous wine with perfect balance between ripeness and acidity.
