Best bottle yet. Absolutely stunning. Nose starting to develop. Hint of petrol. Apple pie. Phyllo. Ethereal haunting mineral vapor aromas. Palate is outrageous. Dense, dry extract up the wazoo, rich, packed to the gills with apple, peach fruit and just ripping acidity and freshness. Finish is like clean Icelandic water with Mosel vibes and perfect sweetness. Just amazing. — a month ago

I think this is my first time trying a wine from the Juffer vineyard in Brauneberg, in the Mosel valley. This wine is shockingly enjoyable, a great tonic to a stressful week, with an overriding impression of salinity both on the nose and palate, as well as effusive aromas of lime and nectarines. The palate is, again, salty, with joyful harmony between fruit and acid - this leans toward the drier end of the Prädikat and, in an acidic vintage such as 2021, it provides a superbly tense, exciting riesling that’ll go well with Indian food tonight. This is up there with the finest young Kabinetts that I’ve tried.

Ok, this is so so serious and so so stunning! Insane nose that brings to mind top Willi Schaefer. Stunningly deep and intense aroma. Haunting, floral, savory, so deep. Penetrating. Lime. Slate. A sense of creaminess as well. So so good. Just a wow nose. 9.6 at least. What a palate. This is perfectly executed Feinherb. So nimble, yet tense and taut. Beautiful purity and a delicate elegant structure but impossible to put down now. Wow, the complexity and finesse. Such amazingness. So filigreed. So long. Perfectly dissipating finish. I know this will be that much better in 5 years. This is a genius wine.

As this airs the nose just gets so stankey and dankey. Just so slatey and mineral. Insane. Best lime ever. The Mosel is so good. — 5 years ago

This showed much younger and fresher than its age. While pure, fresh and in good harmony, the wine lacked the depth and complexity that I usually associate with Schaefer’s wines.

Vintage 2007 | these are the nice surprises… this bottle was not in my cellar administration… found in a corner of the cellar. Gold colour. Honeyed smell with minerals. Fine acidity. Good concentration. Paired with fried cod (kibbeling) and celery. — 8 months ago
