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

10 years ago I was skeptical because this seemed to be a kabinett trying to be a spatlese. No reservations now! — 11 years ago
Mineral-y. Fuzzy. Gooseberry. Not too fruity. — 12 years ago
Thick, unctuous, one of the richest Goldcaps from Haag I ever had.
Mandarin, banana, custard, vanilla and tropical goodness. Only the faintest hint of petrol, lots of stony minerality. Terrific!

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
