Note di degustazione
The 2014 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett shows lovely, elegant and refined fruit with very delicate slate flavor. This Kabinett is beautifully intense and fruity but also elegant, delicate and full of finesse. The finish is complex and piquant, and reveals a lingering salinity and pure minerality that is a perfect expression of the stony character of the Himmelreich. A beautiful Kabinett bottled with 'moderate,' rather medium-sweet 40 grams of residual sugar, which stresses the structure and complexity of this excellent Kabinett.

A little stinky on the nose at present. Very restrained and strictly for those who know how well these wines age. Wet stones in abundance but you have to search for the fruit. (JR)
At a mere 7.5 percent alcohol, one can be sure that this delicate Riesling is packing a considerable load of residual sugar, yet it comes off as brightly refreshing and only subtly sweet. Juicy, invigoratingly tart-edged grapefruit, lemon and apple are underlain by wet stone and tinged with slightly sweaty, mouthwatering salinity. This delivers the ringingly clear sort of finishing fruit that one expects from the Schaefers, but which their non-Prädikat bottlings from this vintage miss.
Rocky and a little reductive (smoky/dusty) on the nose. Sharp citrus flavours are fresh and tangy, with a note of orange on the finish. Very crisp and tastes relatively dry for a Kabinett. (JH)
