2020 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese 10 Willi Schaefer, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer (0,75l)

Mosel Fine Wines - 2020 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese 10, Willi Schaefer

The 2020er Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese AP 10 was harvested mainly in different prime sectors of the vineyard and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers a beautiful and subtly exotic nose made of pear, passion fruit, vineyard peach, apricot, whipped cream, aniseed herbs, and fine smoky spices. The wine is gorgeously light-footed on the fruity palate and leaves a superbly intense feel of melon, cassis, wet stone, and herbs in the nicely playfully fruity-styled finish. The aftertaste is intense yet comes overs as light as a feather. This gorgeous Spätlese will turn into a modern-day legend at maturity, in 10 years and more. 2030-2050. - Juli 2021

James Suckling - 2020 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese 10, Willi Schaefer

Mind-blowing nose of cassis and forest berries with white flowers and a hint of cedar. Staggering depth, packed into a very sleek silhouette, but the brilliant acidity and enormous wet-stone freshness are even more astonishing, because they completely distract you from the natural grape sweetness for a long while. So enjoyable now, but with such a great future ahead of it. Drink or hold. - Stuart Pigott, Sep. 2021
