Nose: gorgeous. White flower. White cherry flower. So perfumed.
Palate: so silky. Terrific balance. White cherries. Maybe lacks some zing. Very 3 decades ago spatlese.
Should be terrific in 15 years.
Fuck the zing. A wine of elegance. Gorgeous.

Nose is classic GB. Richness, melon, slate, matchstick, creamed corn (garmanbozia!) custard, herbals, cantaloupe, dusty tree bark, spices and more. Palate is so intense and so concentrated with pulverized rock minerality and it’s so refined, so elegant and so pure. Huge lemon lime fruit and even some sweet green apple and dehydrated green apple skins. Impossibly complex and just that pulverized rock minerality. Unreal density without weight and such power and grace. Crazy acids and such breath on the fanned out finish. Young but such a stunner. Wow. So intense. One of, if not the best, GB. — 3 months ago
Wow. None made in 22 but 23 is back and it is back with a bang. Unreal complex nose with insane purity and lemon curd, herbals, crushed slate, lime blossom, wild mint, dust, but like the best dust ever, maybe fresh woodworking dust? Under that is apricot and some type of orange berry. But the story is the palate. Unreal finesse and complexity that is utterly off the charts. Where are these charts anyway? Who makes these charts? So concentrated and so mineral and all wrapped in silk. This is insane. White flowers on the nose now and omg shit is so so in your face awesome. Tangy like nothing else and so so long. Huge huge wine but so elegant and serene. As bad as it gets. — 3 months ago
Always the fruitiest of Stefan’s Kabis and this has honey, apricot and peach aromas and wonderful effusive minerality that is layered and 4 dimensional. Herbal and slatey. Gorgeous. Super stoney and mineral palate with unreal honey, peach and apricot fruit but still comes across as sternly mineral and dry tasting on the finish. So complex and elegant and that insane crushed rock minerality and so pure. This is like from a mountain stream that produces riesling. Now with air there is vulcanized rubber and so much mineral. The fruitiness is there but the minerals are coming on strong. Awesome acidity, freshness and so much tension. A great Grafenberg. — 3 months ago
