#10 Graacher Domprobst Spätlese Riesling 2019

Founder Fass Selections

9.8

Best bottle yet. Absolutely stunning. Nose starting to develop. Hint of petrol. Apple pie. Phyllo. Ethereal haunting mineral vapor aromas. Palate is outrageous. Dense, dry extract up the wazoo, rich, packed to the gills with apple, peach fruit and just ripping acidity and freshness. Finish is like clean Icelandic water with Mosel vibes and perfect sweetness. Just amazing. — a month ago

Perhaps a juicy Busch now and then?

@Jeroen Koenen agree on that one!

This showed much younger and fresher than its age. While pure, fresh and in good harmony, the wine lacked the depth and complexity that I usually associate with Schaefer’s wines.

Vintage 2007 | these are the nice surprises… this bottle was not in my cellar administration… found in a corner of the cellar. Gold colour. Honeyed smell with minerals. Fine acidity. Good concentration. Paired with fried cod (kibbeling) and celery. — 8 months ago

This foundling seems to be a marvelous ‘cigar out of your own box’ 😄

@David Koenen Absolutely!
Forgetful administration is the basis for future happiness 😉

I think this is my first time trying a wine from the Juffer vineyard in Brauneberg, in the Mosel valley. This wine is shockingly enjoyable, a great tonic to a stressful week, with an overriding impression of salinity both on the nose and palate, as well as effusive aromas of lime and nectarines. The palate is, again, salty, with joyful harmony between fruit and acid - this leans toward the drier end of the Prädikat and, in an acidic vintage such as 2021, it provides a superbly tense, exciting riesling that’ll go well with Indian food tonight. This is up there with the finest young Kabinetts that I’ve tried.

Shame I didn’t buy more! — 2 years ago

Once you go Juffer, everything else is less than. Even better with many years on the bottle.

@Severn Goodwin seriously? I often drink rieslings from Wehlen and Graach. This is great to know - will buy more Juffer!

Yes, but don't take just my words for it, @Peter van den Besselaar sings the praises of this site, both young and old vintages, with reasonable regularity.
