The Prum 2007 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule smells so intensely of pink grapefruit mint and cassis that - I pray the Prums will forgive this inevitable if sacrilegious comparison! - I imagine Scheurebe. Honey and caramel on the creamy delicate palate offer counterpoint with the wine's luscious citrus and cooling invigorating herbal notes. In conclusion this practically explodes with a shower of citrus herbal essences salt and crushed stone. -David Schildknecht

Seems a bit cleaner on the nose than its counterpart from the Sonnenuhr with slightly sweaty notes but also mouthwatering honey and pineapple aromas. This is full rich and mouthcoating offering up complex flavors of melon honey and musky spices that linger elegantly on the finish. Should evolve at least through 2030. J.C.
