Vereinigte Hospitien 'Sanctus Jacobus'
Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett 1989

Vereinigte Hospitien 'Sanctus Jacobus' Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer) 1989: This has a nose dripping with honeycomb and pineapple fruit, with a stern, steely edge. There is even a hint of botrytis. On the palate a lovely, rich texture, but with good balancing acidity. Weighty pineapple, melon and Cox's apple fruit, with a streak of botrytis again. All this richness is married with a steely starkness, typical of the Mosel. Clean finish and lovely length complete the picture. (27/4/01)
