Schaefer's 2014 Graacher Himmelreich does not disappoint and although it's currently delightful; it has tremendous aging potential. The nose reveals itself in stages of peppermint, cardamom, cinnamon, petrol, and smoky tones. The palate is lifted by a resplendent core of minerality that shows incredible length and finesse with filaments carrying notes of tart lemon sorbet and cotton candy. Masterful and sublime Riesling Kabinett!

Cool kabinett! Excellent opener for a Riesling night at home. At certain points this was my favorite of the flight. Would love to try a 2015!!
