The 2019 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Auslese #14 is ripe, deep, coolish, fresh and flinty yet darker-toned than the sibling Auslese with AP 11 or namely the Himmelreich Auslese. Sweet and lush as well as piquant and finessed on the palate, this is a very clear, precise and salty-crystalline yet highly refined and even mouth-filling Auslese with utterly balanced finesse yet also tight grip and tension. Still very young but with a lot of energy and aging potential. 7.5% alcohol. Tasted from AP 14 20 in June 2020.

Compared to the Domprobst Auslese #11 the 7% alcohol 2013 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Auslese #14 displays a more concentrated bouquet highlighted by a flinty slate perfume. Sweet, rich and elegant on the palate this lush and juicy Auslese is structured by its refined acidity and lingering salinity, whereas the long aftertaste displays ripe fruit aromas again and still remains piquant and stimulating. However, the wine still has baby fat and thus is not that perfectly shaped or balanced as is the Auslese #11 at the moment. It just asks for some years of bottle age to polish its edges and achieve more transparency.

Minty and caramel flavors open the 2012 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Auslese #14, which is a very delicate, intense and juicy Auslese with a lot of elegance, salinity, transparency and finesse. Very sweet, but also very piquant.
