"JJ Prum's Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett 2011 carries us towards scents of minty blackcurrant and golden apple. However, the sweetness of these notes is not apparent on the palate. Baked apple skin and grapefruit zest take over, leading to bittersweet flavors and a delicate finish. Greater complexity should emerge with time - and we can count on twenty years of very fine performance." (Wine Advocate 2013 - Robert Parker).

About the wine:
Aromas of violets and stone fruit are enveloped in the fresh herbs of this elegant, honeyed Kabinett. Lively acidity reverberates on the palate, where sweet fruit matches the long, taut, mineral finish.
