Product Information: Schaefer is a father-and-son run winery that produces some of the most lauded and sought-after wines in the Mosel. The Domprobst vineyard lies on a steep slope and features chunks of slate over a thick layer of loam, absolutely ideal for a Mosel Riesling. Parker Review: The Schaefers sole 2009 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Kabinett marks a striking contrast with its Himmelreich counterpart, and one the Schaefers say perfectly illustrates the effect of there being water-retentive fine particulate matter often even 60 meters down in Himmelreich, whereas one hits hard mother rock far sooner in Domprobst. A watercolor-like sense of flavor elements bleeding into one another yet permitting a fine sense of mineral detail to emerge a less emphatic or bright impression yet lovely complexity and lingering caress of northerly orchard and citrus fruits tinged with nut oils, green tea, salt and stone, render this Domprobst Kabinett memorable. And its not as though it is either analytically deficient in acidity or lacking in energetic springs to propel its finish and keep the results refreshing. Those results should remain that way for at least 15 years. Tanzer Review: Peach pit, cherry blossom and quince jelly dominate the bouquet. Almost creamy in texture yet delicate in weight, the smoky, wet stone minerality providing elegant counterpoint to the wine's ripe apricot fruit. Slatey and long on the aftertaste. Along with the Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett #12 of von Schubert, this is the kabinett of the vintage. Other Notes: "Oh, class here! Boy oh boy oh boy - what a Domprobst. And Kabinett?? Fuhgeddaboutit. Massively salty, lavishly juicy and yet with tautly stretched fruit as energetic and laughing as I ever recall." Michael Skurnik | ||||
