Robert Parker Wine Advocate Stephan Reinhardt - 28 Feb 15
The 2012 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett (AP #02 14) is one of just three Kabinett wines of the vintage (Estate and Badstube are the other two). With spring-like aromas of white fruits and flinty slate flavors, it opens bright and clear like a prelude from Johann Sebastian Bach on the nose. Very delicate, light, piquant and absolutely stimulating on the palate, this filigreed yet firmly structured and persistently salty wine is absolutely delicious!

Succulent aromas of cherry, apple blossom and sweet herbs. Firm apricot fruit with a lively core frames the palate. The elegant finish features persistent slate minerality.
