Graacher Domprobst Spatlese Fuder 10, Weingut Willi Schaefer 2017

AP: 10 18. The 2017er Graacher Domprobst Spätlese AP 10 delivers a most beautiful floral and smoky nose with elegant and refined scents of anise, yellow flowers, pear, orange blossom and smoke. The wine is very pure, straight and focused as a racy yet ripe acidity cuts through the palate. The intensity of this wine in the finish is just fascinating in its purity and elegance. What a fantastic Spätlese! 2027-2047

Overwhelming, but not through raw power and much less through sheer volume. The combination of intensity, vibrancy, succulence and delicacy of this Spätlese must be tasted to be believed. I love the lemon-blossom character in the nose. Drink or hold.
