94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The Schaefers’ 2006 Graacher Domprobst Riesling Auslese A.P.#11 smells Chartreuse-like in its suggestion of herbal and floral distillate; pits creaminess against bright lemon, tart crab apple, juicy, fresh yellow plum, and piquant walnut oil; and finishes with seemingly unlimited sappy, spicy concentration of herbs, citrus, and pit fruits. This rich yet not at all fat or even creamy Riesling brilliantly fulfills Schaefer’s intention to press the fresh fruit from the grapes without bringing along any bitter or coarser elements of botrytis. The refinement, subtlety, yet length and energy are remarkable. This would best be given 5-7 years before re-visiting and will then last at least 20 more." (10/08) According to importer Terry Theise: "Like a 90 though with less muscle and even more precisely chiseled; again in the green family though overtly juicier than #5; this really tastes like some ether of 45 wild herbs strained through pulverized flint. I have a question about its acid-jab but none about its implausible beauty."
