"The 2011 Domprobst Kabinett AP #3 is a more precise, pure and overtly mineral version of the above. The excellent nose is also quite reserved in personality, but offers up scents of lime, pink grapefruit, petrol, almost crystalline impressions of slate, orange zest and citrus blossoms. On the palate the wine is medium-bodied, pure and primary, with lovely detail, an excellent core, zesty acids and superb length and grip on the focused and filigreed finish. A beautiful Kabinett in the making, but give it a few years to blossom. 2016-2035+."

"Yeasty, cheesy and faintly reductive post-fermentative notes - a function, says Willi Schaefer, of this having been among those wines racked early into tank to remain until bottling - slightly obscures the aromas of flowers and fruit in Schaefer's 2011 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Kabinett A.P. #3. 'The yeastiness has been slowing going away,' he adds, 'so we know this won't be one of those (here rare!) problem children that’s still yeasty five years on.' Honeysuckle- and walnut-tinged, ripe, fresh apple and pineapple certainly come out on the generously juicy palate and it's evident that this bottling will exhibit even greater delicacy and sense of lift as well as stony undertone than the A.P. #16. Look for likely short-term aromatic improvement and a 20-25 year lifespan."
