J.J. Prum, Graacher Himmelreich, Riesling Auslese 2008 Carmel Valley ripe wine with pointed acidityVery floral with quince, mint and hints of anise on the nose. Reminiscent of salted caramel, white raisin and honey on the palate with hints of citrus rind and a backbone of acidity cutting through the sappy intensity. Delicious now and worth following for 30 40 years.
