Tasting notes
The jellied, big, exotic 2002 Riesling Eiswein Kiedrich Gräfenberg is a complete wine. It is massively rich yet not heavy, sweet but magnificently pure, and concentrated yet detailed. Medium-bodied, its lush tropical fruit and spice flavors are majestically delineated, complex, and intense. This is a spectacular Eiswein.

(for 375 ml.) This is a viscous, glyceral lump of wine, almost miraculously leavened by 14 grams of acidity. Caramel and honey establish the botrytized base for the flavors, while a brilliant whirl of bright acidity circles about like a cloud of orbiting electrons. Ultimately, the energy level here seems more stable than in the Auslese, a wine with a close stylistic kinship but nowhere near the harmonious length of this Eiswein. 2 stars.
