Stunning wine. Honeyed. But also slatey and wonderfully complex and nuanced. It screams of place. Schafer is amazing. Shows the richness of 07 with nice balancing acidity. Long, lean, juicy and amazingly complex. So pure. Haven't had Schaefer in a minute. — 7 years ago

Lawd, if you listen...help! Tasted again a week later....this wine is insane. Crazy wide bandwidth of flavor. Tart citrus to super ripe stone fruit. Sunshine in a glass. Like Riesling on acid with sunglasses on! — 10 years ago

Drinking up my stock of these as the previous bottles were past their prime. But my final one goes out with life still in it! Apple, pear, ripe and juicy lemon, maybe even a little pineapple on the long finish. — 6 years ago

VDP auction bottling. Hard to describe this one as its weightless and in complete balance. There's no hard edges anywhere, but still one of the most hardcore wines that I've ever tasted. The acid level tips the scales and its tart citrusy profile does include some tropical fruits but this this wine is all about its acid drive and nervous minerality. Unique. — 9 years ago

I’ve said it once, I’ve said it many times. There is no greater wine value in the world than well-aged Mosel Riesling. Crystalline asian pear, mandarins and river water mixed with a hint of petrol. Killlllller. — 5 years ago

Hot damn I love aged Riesling. This one might have been a year or so past it’s tip top best but my friend who knows nada about wine tasted it and said “whoa this is a whole meal” which is to say it is wildly apple, honeysuckle, arugula and...feta cheese? So much feta we even got some out of the fridge to taste test. Loved this. Wish I had more. Love Riesling. Get in. — 6 years ago

In the nose I smell sweet tobacco and hints of anise. Wet leather and the smell of rain. Big in tannin and foul-mouthed wine. Not a long end but need to age. — 8 years ago
