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. 16/20
(27/4/01)
