This is the 2001. Very delicate floral aromas with lingering orchard fruit. Spatlese is nit my favorite, but still this is starting to show its complexity. — 11 years ago

Apéritif to an epic meal at Luxembourg. For such a sweet drink, it sure did okay in whetting our appetites.

The botrytis certainly shows. Honey, apple, grapefruit, lemon peel, musk, mineral. An almost baby pee like aroma lingers in the nose. Weighty, yet incredibly precise. Juicy fruit and spice on the palate. Racy, drawn-out acidity.

Note: Being a young Prum, I was looking out for the sponti/fermentative characters people talk about. Couldn't detect any (maybe that funk?) - likely because it has been opened for a while before I had a glass.

From RC write-up: Graacher wines typically offer greater finesse when young and are overtly more mineral noted than those of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr. They often show more citrus and fresh nectarine fruit, as well as a powdery, sorbet-like minerality that strongly differentiates them from the ripe peach fruit and the textural opulence that Wehlener Sonnenuhr wines develop with age. Graacher wines are also typically more accessible when young than those of their more famous neighbour. The slope here faces south-southwest: less westwards than the Badstube but slightly more than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr. The slope is also steeper than the
Badstube, but slightly less steep than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Finally the soils are also slightly deeper than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr and the gradient varies from 45% to an impressive 65% (so again, more steep than the Badstube but slightly less so than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr). Typically the most mineral tasting wine in the line up. — 9 years ago

Yeehaaa! Don't try this or you'll get KaJo-addicted! Wonderful fresh and elegant style. Nearly impossible for me to correctly assess the vintage of wines from this winery. You always estimate too young. — 10 years ago

Wow wow wow and WOW! I just love these wines! Absolute dynamite intensity, palate weight and carry. Baked apples, Lemmon curd and a beautiful acid carry. One of my all time favourite wines. HAPPY BOY! — 11 years ago
