2022 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett Willi Schaefer, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2022 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett, Willi Schaefer

The 2022 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett is clear, bright and fresh on the still young and yeasty nose that shows a coolish, flinty character with ripe, well-concentrated fruit and dark slate notes. On the palate, this is a round and charming, mouth-filling and fruity but finessed and balanced Kabinett from the Himmelreich. This is a very elegant and alluring style, but it will be even more so after some years of bottle age. The finish is delicate, fresh and frisky, saline and citric but not at all aggressive; in fact, it is mouth-tickling and caressing but also salivating. Another gorgeous Kabinett from the Schaefer family. 7.5% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted in May 2023. - Stephan Reinhardt, Mai 2023

Mosel Fine Wines - 2022 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett, Willi Schaefer

The 2022er Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett is a fruity-styled wine with a beautiful even if initially slightly closed nose made of pear, mirabelle, citrusy elements, cassis, earthy spices, and fine herbal notes. The wine is superbly juicy and precise on the palate where tart elements mingle with spicy elements. The finish is subtle, intense, and multi-layered. This is a beautiful Kabinett in the making. 2032-2042. - Juni 2023
