"Welcome to the Mosel riesling Garden of Eden! Totally extraordinary stone fruit, mandarin orange and exotic fruit aromas that you could spend hours studying. However, this great Spatlese has as much drive as it does succulence and these things are almost perfectly intertwined at the super-long and silky finish. Drink or hold."

"The 2022 Riesling Graacher Domprobst Spätlese #13 immediately promises exquisite purity on the nose with white pepper and creamy apricot. The palate is wonderfully sweet and gentle but also shows grapefruit tanginess, spice and some white pepper. The lightness is astonishing. The combination of cream and pepper, both bathed in citrus, is vivid, unusual, but utterly beguiling. The finish is so balanced. Only heaven knows where the sweetness goes. Available at auction: 420 bottles, 12 magnums. (Sweet)"
