MAX FERDINAND RICHTER

Riesling Kabinett Graacher Himmelreich 2015

- 91 points -

From the Goldwingert, high above Bernkastel and just upstream from Graach, this Kabinett lusciously conveys a lime-meringue-like compilation of bright citricity and airy buoyancy with underlying custardy richness. Hints of cassis and cherry lend an alluring, site-typical note, leading to a ringingly bright, succulently-sustained finish underlain by wet stone and suffused with saliva-liberating salinity. (As my palate and tasting note suggested, its analysis shows that this bottling is even higher in acidity than its fellow Richter Kabinetts.)
