The 2022 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Auslese Goldkapsel, made with about 30% botrytis, does not give much away on its closed nose. Still, the ripest peach, edged with orange zestiness, is luminous on the palate, encompassing tart-sweet fruit and the slightest lift of botrytis. Concentration and slight viscosity with intense sweetness and honey are edged with citrus. (Luscious)
