High-toned floral citrus and red berry aromas introduce this delicate Riesling which is marked by finesse and a gossamer frame unveiling its citrus and peach flavors in a fleeting manner. Fine length. Drink now through 2035. -BS

Musk melon peach black currant and botrytis-inflected suggestions of caramel white raisin and pungent spice fill the nose from Prum's 2007 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese. A considerable measure of yeasty and CO2-engendered aromas needs to clear off before this really begins to show its formidable stuff. Creamy in texture and quite unlike the corresponding Spatlese it displays more than enough energy concentration and sheer length but needs time to harmonize and focus. -David Schildknecht
