Score 96/100 · Drink 2020-2050, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, Apr 2018

Tasted from the 375-milliliter bottle, the 2016 Graacher Himmelreich Auslese (Long Gold Capsule) is the botrytis selection of the vintage that didn't bring very much noble rot. Clear and fresh in its mineral expression, with citrus flavors, notes of crushed stones and also a concentrated raisin aroma on the nose, this is a generously round, smooth, very fine and balanced Auslese with a creamy, very elegant and harmonious texture. The wine (AP 20 17) is pretty sweet compared to the other Auslesen of the vintage, but hey, it wears a long gold capsule. Auctioned for 474.81 euros for the 375-milliliter bottle.
