2005 Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Riesling Kabinett

Mosel Saar Ruwer more

3/4/2024 - mike Likes this wine: 94 points

These Rieslings need age to transform.

It has become more petrol on the nose and drying out on the palate.

It has become very drinkable.

Very much as Thomas describes below. Orange gold colour, touch of tropical fruit, persimmon, white jasmine/pepper/origanum... Nicely drying with a bit of age

Drinking well. Persistent length with a little age character coming through, a hint of dryness on the finish. Beautiful gold colour indicating it's age

Seriously good, a beautiful wine. Both savoury and sweet with soy Asian spice elements.
Great length with clean long and refreshing finish. My first bottle, I purchased this as part of the hospice group though it is not a hospice wine.

Lovely seaside honeysuckle aromas. On the palate though nice and dry it has richness and weight. It is crying out to be matched with crayfish or other rich seafood. Unfortunately neither are on the menu tonight.

Pinot Noir more

Pulled the cork last night but I felt it needed another 24 hours to open up.
Very pleased I did this as it is now showing well. Great balance of dark savoury berry fruit flavours and smooth structured tannins.

Lovely wine, still very youthful, straw colour. Green Apple and early peach flavour with some hint of walnuts. Lean and mean in the best possible way.
