2013 Robert Weil Kiedricher Gräfenberg Riesling Spätlese

Lovely pure and mineral on the aristocratic quartzite nose the 2013 Kiedricher Gräfenberg Riesling Spätlese offers much more refined fruit aromas (pineapples) than the Rheingau Spätlese Tradition. Picked at 96° Oechsle and bottled with 77 grams per liter of residual sugar and a beaming acidity of almost 10 grams per liter this is a stellar Spätlese with finest Riesling and Gräfenberg flavors on the nose as well as a noble, aristocratic performance on the palate. Full-bodied, sappy and piquant rather than sweet, this is a very precise, elegant and extremely well balanced Gräfenberg ambassador of great finesse. It is lovely to drink now but you better don't drink its huge aging potential away too early. Even for professional tasters it is really hard to spit this Gräfenberg Spätlese that will still fascinate people in 30 or 40 years.
