The 2014 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett shows lovely, elegant and refined fruit with very delicate slate flavor. This Kabinett is beautifully intense and fruity but also elegant, delicate and full of finesse. The finish is complex and piquant, and reveals a lingering salinity and pure minerality that is a perfect expression of the stony character of the Himmelreich. A beautiful Kabinett bottled with 'moderate,' rather medium-sweet 40 grams of residual sugar, which stresses the structure and complexity of this excellent Kabinett.
