Surreal clarity and freshness. By a margin, the most refined Auslese that I've ever encountered. Just fenomenal, this is 3-digit material. Painfully young at present. — 9 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! — 11 years ago

Still drinking well. I'm familiar with the later history of Audelssa, but did not know about the Arrowood connection from 2000-2002. Interesting that this has "produced and bottled by Arrowood Vineyards & Winery" on the back and a Schaefer cork. — 12 years ago

Deep gold. Honeyed apple and snowblower on the nose. Rich mouthfeel of pears and peach, yet the finish was quite short. Still, ripe with elegant acid showcasing the vintage. Drink up. — 9 years ago

Great lime candy essence, such great acidity, showing some age but surprisingly youthful for 20yrs. — 9 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. — 11 years ago

Auction! Just goes to show not all #Riesling 2003s suck! Schaefer BA is another testament to the most underrated "great" vintage-HA! #31DaysGermanRiesling #SOR @SummerRiesling — 12 years ago

What an amazing wine. 2008 vintage which I bought at the Schaefer wine sale two years ago. First bottle was corked and trrribly moldy. Second bottle had a smooth and rich flavor straight from the first sip. Incredible body. Stank s are so mellow and round. An intense and special wine. Good fir Amy meal would be lovely with heavy meats. — 9 years ago

A delicious well balanced wine. A real bargain. Silky smith from beginning to end. Reminds me of Schaefer Hillside Select. — 9 years ago

First you get the typical Schaefer-Froehlich reduction on the nose but with some time it blows off. A lot of mineral notes, wet stone, sourcrout, fresh sliced white peach, elegant fruit. On the palate the acidity kicks in. Needs another two years to fully come together. Great QPR. — 9 years ago

Nice. At the same price not as nice as the Willi Schaefer from a few nights ago but more (nearly bone) dry. This was with spicy Asian food. Great nose. — 10 years ago

Another creature: a slightly oxidative St. Laurent rose that could be confused for aged Tempier or Lopez. Easily the best 2014 wine at the VDP Wienborse fair, and also one of the most interesting rose wines I have ever encountered. — 11 years ago
