Hi-Time's Top German Wines of 2024
WINE ADVOCATE 96+ POINTS - "The 2023 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Kabinett #3 opens with a clear and coolish, very precise and flinty as well as vegetal bouquet of dark, crushed slate. Very elegant and mouthwatering on the palate, with lively, mineral acidity and stimulating salinity, this is an almost dry-tasting Domprobst Kabinett due to its continuous mineral character and grippy phenols. The wine is full of finesse yet still discreet in its hedonistic compounds. The Domprobst is the aristocrat of the Mosel Kabinett world yet also offers a certain charm. Very subtle and long, this will be a classic in a decade, especially when served with very fine dishes. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024 from AP 3 24 (thus the #3 on the label)."
MOSEL FINE WINES 95 POINTS - "The 2023er Graacher Domprobst Riesling Kabinett is a fruity-styled wine which proves really reserved and almost non-saying at first, with only faint scents of fine smoke and almond cream and needs quite some time to develop a very refined and elegant nose of anise, jasmine, white flowers, cassis, lavender, and earthy spices. The wine reveals more on the palate, where intense yellow and zesty fruits come through and give it a superbly playful and animating side. The finish is very long, still compact and in need of integration. The density is quite superb, and the wine proves both intense and focused. The length in the aftertaste is stunning and mouthwatering. This great Kabinett needs a good decade to fully deliver. 2033-2053"
