"Mango, pink grapefruit, cashew, and hints of white raisin in the nose of Selbachs' extremely late-harvested 2009 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spatlese foreshadow its lushly fruited, richly nutty, silken-textured palate performance. Subtle salinity and stoniness add interest and allure to a lingering, lip-licking finish. This impeccably-balanced and finesseful Riesling is arguably more Auslese than Spatlese, but I won't quibble. It should be a joy to follow for 20-25 years. This should be a fantastic illustration of its site and vintage even a quarter-century from now."

Product Description:

"Sensational; all starched and brilliant, a marching-band of slate and fruit and a sort of ur-Mosel soul, as Graach can be – you seem to eat the flavor within the flavor. A touch sweeter now. Here’s a completely screwed-up observation; the finish has certain things in common with the aftertaste of good white-corn tortilla chips. Earth to Terry...." -Importer
