The 2021 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Kabinett #3 opens with a bright, clear, remarkably intense, beautifully balanced and layered nose of ripe and fleshy fruits intertwined and spiced with graphite and coolish slate aromas. This is a classical beauty, and it becomes more refined on the nose the longer you hold your nose over the glass. Lush and saline on the palate, this is a mouthfilling and mouthwatering Domprobst with precise, saline/mineral acidity and very fine phenolics on the nicely stringent finish. This is a serious but fluent Riesling of great finesse and elegance. Mirabelle aromas are emerging from the glass now and make this one of the finest Kabinett Rieslings I have ever tasted. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 3 22 in July 2022.

Deep, cool, fresh and spicy on the fine and elegant if not aristocratic nose, the 2020 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Kabinett #3 indicates fine and wet slate plates, which give this unique spiciness to nose and palate. Round, lush and elegant, with fine piquancy and precise but delicate acidity, this is a mouth-filling Kabinett from the Domprobst. The 2020 is noble and serious in its appearance and finishes with salt and structure. A first-class wine to have with food in some years. More serious and introverted than the hedonistic Himmelreich Kabinett. 7.5% alcohol. Natural cork. Bottled with an AP number ending with 03 21. Tasted in September 2021.
