Graacher Domprobst Spätlese Riesling Auction
Gorgeous and in a great place now. Golden in color, peach, apple, and that beautiful filigreed precision.

However, this did not prevent Willi and son Christoph #Schaefer from crafting a beautiful, classy #Mosel #Riesling from their best vineyard--the #GraacherDomprobst.
Yes, it is slightly heavier and more concentrated than other cooler years, but with a kiss of #botrytis lining the contours of this almost-Auslese-level wine, the result is, well, magical and the wine utterly sings! The overall balance and structure are amazing and this super rarity auction bottle could keep easily another twenty years! #Auction #VDP
