November 10, 2020 - This bottle showed more advanced than I expected based on my last experience in 2017. Golden in color. Mellow orchard fruit and wet rock on the complex and lovely nose. Palate shows great balance and acidity, the lush sweet apricot balanced by a sapid bitter minerality. Nothing but joy here.

May 4, 2020 - Willi Schaefer is my very own Riesling hero. I have bought several of his Kabinett and spatlese from various vintages and have never been less than delighted. On this occasion it turned up a notch to Wonderful; exciting; concentrated and just beautiful. I am pretty sure it will age beautifully but it was so lovely now, it is difficult to resist. Thank you Willi!
