Lot #871. Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Riesling Auslese #01 2010

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 94 WA.
"The relatively early-picked but decidedly botrytized Schaefer 2010 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Auslese A.P. #1 is ethereally redolent of apple blossom, honeysuckle, heliotrope, herbal essences, pink grapefruit, apple, and Rainier cherry, all of which reconvene in an almost explosive profusion on a palate whose levity, juicy generosity, and perfumed persistence is guaranteed to reel you back again and again. “As soon as we tasted the must,” says Willi Schaefer, “we said ‘oh what acidity ... but this is going to be a classic.’” Notes of vanilla and freshly baked bread-yeastiness well up in the long finish and the empty glass, calling to mind the amazing Schaefer Domprobst performances of 1975." eRobertParker.com #199, Feb 2012
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $70
