Robert Parker Wine Advocate David Schildknecht - 31 Oct 06
The auction-destined 2005 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Auslese A.P. #2 offers a nose of over-ripe melon, brown spices, apple jelly. Oily in texture and tinged with the spice and honey of botrytis on the palate, this then finishes with a shocking brightness and vivacity of citrus infiltrating a finish of quince preserves, apple jelly and jellied red currant. While it may not exhibit the layering or the elegance and delicacy of several of the best wines here today, this A.P. #2, with its dynamic of brightness and tartness playing (at present even a bit roughly) against creamy, richly botrytized, honeyed, jellied fruits and low tones, will continue to speak with a voice that is all its own.

Germany

Germany is renowned for its diverse, high-quality wines, primarily white varieties like Riesling. Thriving in cool climates and regions like Mosel, Rheingau, and Pfalz, German Rieslings range from dry to sweet, showcasing vibrant acidity and minerality. Top producers include Weingut Egon Müller and Joh. Jos. Prüm in Mosel, Weingut Robert Weil in Rheingau, and Dr. Loosen. Weingut Keller in Rheinhessen is noted for both Riesling and Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). These producers highlight the excellence and tradition of German winemaking.
