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. — 10 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 — 13 years ago

Stellar. Intensely powerful with caramel and roasted apricot notes, yet never heavy. Pretty floral honey aromatics and a lift on the palate. — 9 years ago

Great lime candy essence, such great acidity, showing some age but surprisingly youthful for 20yrs. — 10 years ago

2011, Willi Schweinhardt, Langenlonsheimer Rothenberg Spatlese, Nahe, Riesling. This was surprisingly good. Great acidity, tangerine, lime zest, apricot and just enough residual sugar. — 11 years ago

Willi Brundlmayer once said "In Austria you are not a real winemaker unless you make red wine." Lifted, elegant red and purple fruits with leafy nuances and peppercorns. — 12 years ago

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

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

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! — 12 years ago

Austrian Gewürztraminer from 2006, 13.5%. Excellent color, bright and intense. In the nose the botrytis is not too excessive, and there are pleasant notes of eglantine. In the mouth the right balance between sweetness and acidity. — 13 years ago
