WTN: Michael Smith Graachs That

[David M. Bueker]

• 2011 Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese #10 - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (6/9/2024)
  From magnum, this was enjoyable sipping in its way, but the limitations of the ripe, low acid vintage prevent it from reaching any level of interesting. No fault of the winemaker, 2011 is just the least interesting vintage of the last 20+ years. I suspect wines like these will age a very long time, but always be serviceable at best.

But does Clark Smith graach that?
