2022 Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spatlese #5 [JS97][WA96][V96]

Producer: Weingut Willi Schaefer Region: Graach, Mosel, Germany Varietal: Riesling Year: 2018  James Suckling, 97 Points "The astonishing precision of the exotic ripeness and enveloping floral aromas make this extremely concentrated 2022 Mosel Spatlese stand head and shoulders above the majority of the vintage. Then comes the fabulous wet stone freshness that drives the extremely long and totally cool finish. Great aging potential.
