Note di degustazione
Schaefer's 2016 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese (Auction) is very subtle and clear on the deep, smoky but also sensual and highly finessed nose. Lithe and very delicate on the elegant, beautifully balanced palate, this is a terribly lush and refined Domprobst Spätlese with fine acidity and a refreshingly mineral, persistently salty and mouthwatering finish. Great finesse here. This AP #13 Domprobst was sold at the auction in Trier in September 2017. Tasted March 2018.

Fresh apple, pear and lime on the nose are accompanied on the creamy, buoyant palate by rich, cashew-like nut paste. At the same time, there is juicy, animating brightness here beyond even that demonstrated by the corresponding A.P. #10, as well as a tingling, gingery spiciness that I hadn’t noticed in any other Schaefer 2016s. Christoph Schaefer suggested that slightly lower yields in the sector from which this auctioned bottling originated – at least in part a legacy of hail – may account for its enhanced acidity and overall concentration. The superbly sustained finish manages to soothe as well as to refresh and invigorate.
