Graben Riesling Spatlese Grosse Lage 2023

The 2023 Riesling Bernkastel Graben Spätlese hides exquisite citrus under its reductive nose. Bergamot and grapefruit appear, all still wrapped in a little smoke. The palate shows their serene, scented, sweettart interplay of candied zest. This is tenderly sweet, beautifully fresh and of absolute purity. This flows, glides and beguiles. Drinking window: 2026-2056. (Anne Krebiehl, MW,vinous.com,Dec. 17, 2024)
