CWD: '01 JJ Prm Graacher Himmelreich Sptlese

[drssouth]

2001 Joh. Jos. Prm Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Sptlese, alc 8%, $28....with Mongolion beef over rice...open and expressive with a sweetness that borders on Auslese status...great sweet fruit and a good foil for the moderate spice of the dish...great acid...

Almost a stairway to heaven?

Damn that sounds good. May have to throw one of mine in the fridge...

 

[David M. Bueker]

I'll chill the auslese.

Didn't he release another one a year or two later? AP?

 

[David M. Bueker]

I don't recall a late release Himmelreich. I never put much stock in the AP fetish.
