"A glossy, subtly oily texture to Schaefers' 2010 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese - like the honeyed glaze to its apple and citrus fruits - points toward its significant botrytis component; yet it packs the blazingly bright, juicy citricity and corresponding nervous energy characteristic for its vintage. Tart suggestions of gooseberry or white currant in the finish engender a slightly sweet-sour tension that might well resolve with time, while piquant apple pit and slate-licking minerality help extend a vibrant finish. This will doubtless retain its vitality for a quarter century, though whether the near-severity of its acids will have been mollified or accentuated, I won't try to predict today." (Parker's Wine Advocate 199)
