A bit early to tell it's whole story, but incredibly expressive. Crushed slate, orange marmalade, and this is where it gets weird, but I swear it's accurate...pencil erasers, party baloons, minerality so high, it could be pop-rocks. Finish is medium plus, and cleanly with some slight chalky notes and petrol. Wish it would hold longer on the acidity. Overall, an incredible value, for the triple Hamilton's, you get quite an experience. It's no Donnhoff or Prum, yet still a wonderfully variant showing.

Wow, lime, green apples, juicy pear, slate and a touch of honey. A clean and fresh palate, tastes dry but is not, a beautifully elegant and well balanced wine.

Christoph & Andrea #Schaefer brought a modest 750ml bottle of their magnificent 2012 Graacher #Himmelreich #Spätlese--as good as anyone's fruity #Riesling and one of my favorites. #KellerParty

2012 is by far one of the finest #German vintages in recent memory and #WilliSchaefer's seamless #Rieslings are the absolute HAMMER!!!
