Predominately peachy stone fruit and lime with gasoline and mineral oil. Picks up some burnt sugar undertones as it opens up and oxidizes. Color is very light, but body is full with a honeyed sweetness. Besides drinking as an aperitif, I suspect this would pair well with rich, fatty pork, duck, or game dishes. Like other aged Schönborns I've had, a phenomenal value.

A good performance for an 03. The nose is light petrolly, with richness of fruit even at kabinet level.. well we guess its a 2003 after all. On the palate it is light and although it has lost its freshness the wine is still going on. Balnced and firm with 11% alc, this was just the perfect aperitif. 88

Wine is still a bit acidic and has got some butterscotch aging in the flavors. Its a nice wine and I loved it. That being said, I was disappointed; I expected 2 or more points higher. It did not have the intensity I truely expect for a Riesling in this price range.

Didn"t get any significant aged character. This bottle was a good tasting basic Kabinett.

lovely earthy, saline, mushroom thing to go along with the waxy, apple skin nose
