Note di degustazione
The 2016 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Kabinett is clear, deep and smoky on the nose, more stony and earthy/mineral on the nose than the Himmelreich Kabinett. The fruit is rather cool and very fine here. On the palate, this is a lush, racy-piquant, beautifully salty Kabinett with firm yet fine mineral structure and a mouthwatering finish. Tasted March 2018.

Like its 2015 predecessor, this 2016 displays a slight cheesy, yeasty fermentative veil, but from behind that emerge seductive perfumes of rowan and heliotrope along with scents of ripe quince, pear and grapefruit that set the tone for a luscious performance on the buoyant, silky palate. The tang and tingle of pear skin and grapefruit zest convey a sense of invigoration that contrasts with the more placid Himmelreich and its gliding finish. The sweet nuttiness typical for Domprobst – here in pistachio-like guise – conveys richness, and stony underpinnings provide a sense of Mosel-typical depth. (Bear in mind that I subtracted a point from my score for this wine’s youthful “Mosel stink,” but it has a fine future.)
Very different aroma from the Graacher Himmelreich, even a hint of honey. But mostly a herbal, stony finesse that just smells of mountain air. Generously fruity in the mouth, the sweetness is felt but is in fine balance with the acidity. GV (JH)
