Schaefer's 2014 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese opens with an intense, yet refined and lovely, smoky bouquet of fully ripe grapefruit and Riesling flavors. Juicy and piquant on the densely textured palate, this is a mouthful of elegant Riesling whose sweetness is balanced by a racy and still vehement acidity that leads to a complex and mineral finish. Keep this excellent Spätlese for another 6-10 years before you slowly start enjoying it. - Stephan Reinhardt
