Citrus pith and honey and lemon. Top notch. — 7 years ago
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

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. — 8 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

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 — 11 years ago
Lovely with foie grass. sweet with apricot and peaches — 6 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. — 8 years ago
Really enjoy this wine. Tastes like grapefruit — 8 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. — 10 years ago
