2019 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Beerenauslese Willi Schaefer, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2019 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Beerenauslese, Willi Schaefer

The 2019 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Beerenauslese opens with very clear and lemony botrytis and raisin aromas intertwined with fine slate aromas. Racy-piqaunt on the the first attack, this is a sweet but delicate and even filigreed BA with a frisky character. The finish is still sweet but very long and provided with piquancy and finesse. This should be a great BA in 10 or 20 years. 6.5% alcohol. Tasted from AP 16 20 in June 2020. - Stephan Reinhardt, Aug. 2020

Mosel Fine Wines - 2019 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Beerenauslese, Willi Schaefer

The 2019er Graacher Domprobst Riesling Beerenauslese was made from a selection of fully botrytized grapes. It offers a gorgeously ripe yet elegant nose of William’s pear, pineapple, honeyed peach, toffee, hay, mirabelle, tar, and fruit paste. The wine coats the palate with plenty of honeyed candied fruits, apricot and mango, but also quite some zest and intensity. The finish is very intense, almost tight, and magnificently focused. The wine starts off on the opulent side but leaves an outstanding and vibrating feel of candied citrus and tangerine in the after-taste. This is a great fruit-driven and clean expression of BA in the making! 2034-2089. - Juni 2020
