Medium gold in color, somewhat restrained aroma but just explosive on the palate with honey, pear, pineapple, orange, and saffron. Viscous and fairly sweet but there’s enough acidity to balance things out. Would work well with a cheese course, Indian, Sichuan, or even with the right dessert. These Schaefer spatlesen are just fantastic in their middle age.

First time checking in on this in some time, the dark color would indicate this is much older. Sugar is there, but beginning to slide into he background behind dried peach, quince, slate, dry honey, white flowers, and a hint of pleasant herbal tea. Well balanced, and with a long and balanced finish, this is still young and has a long road ahead. These are just beautiful wines.

Much darker golden in color than previous bottle. Still a wonderful wine but the sweetness really seems to have taken a backseat this time around. Everything still in perfect harmony though, the acidity is perfectly balanced by the fruit. Great stuff. Seems to be open for drinking now, but of course this will go the distance if you're so inclined.

surprisingly deep color. very nice aromatics and pleasant sweetness on the palate. the sugar is well cut by the acidity, but it is really the spritz that makes this sucha pleasurable drink.

LOVED IT. Great Mosel Riesling. Fantastic balance and a delight with spicy food.
