Schaefer/Willi Riesling Kabinett Graacher Domprobst #3 2021

96 points Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2021er Graacher Domprobst Riesling Kabinett AP03 is a fruity-styled wine with a still quite restrained and smoky nose at first? It takes a while to reveal its complexity and finesse underlined by fine notes of stone fruit, lead pencil, herbs, bergamot, blackberry, cherry, violet, and lavender. The wine is still very tight on the palate but already hints at the greatness to come as there is great density and purity. The finish is still somewhat sharp yet its incredibly multi-layered side is already lurking in the background. The balance is already more off-dry than fully fruity or sweet. This is a fabulous Kabinett. 2029-2046. (Jun 2022)"

95 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2021 Domprobst Kabinett AP #3 from Weingut Schaefer is a touch deeper than the AP #1 version, and more precise and chiseled out of the blocks. The nose wafts from the glass in a superbly complex mix of pear, apple, lilacs, iris blossoms, wild yeasts, bee pollen and a gorgeous foundation of slate minerality. On the palate the wine is pure, medium-full and zesty, with a lovely girdle of acidity, a great core of fruit, superb mineral undertow and cut, vibrant acids and a very, very precise and focused, complex finish. This too is a brilliant young Kabinett in the making. 2027-2065+. (Mar/Apr 2023)"

94 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Stunningly refined nose with beautiful aromas of white currant, aromatic apple, ripe gooseberry with a touch of fresh sage. Wonderful interplay of delicate fruit, compact structure and mineral freshness. So dynamic and refreshing at the super-racy finish. Drink or hold. (9/8/22)"
