2016 Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spatlese #5 is a spicy, nutty and rich fruit liitle number. A tad more ripe tropical fruit than the previous vintage, but with a slightly steelier acid/mineral backbone. It has a lot of legs, will go on. Try it with something or just let it take you on it's own little ride.
"Ripe apple and pear garlanded in honeysuckle entice the nose, accompanied by high-toned suggestions of almond and pistachio extracts. A subtly creamy palate displays luscious fruit, heady inner-mouth perfume and rich nuttiness. There is less counterpoint or refreshment here than in the corresponding A.P. #10, but greater opulence has not precluded a delectable sense of delicacy, and the seductively soothing, superbly sustained finish offers a reassuring whisper of wet stone."
