  Golden colour. Have net, lemon, pear and apple. Palate is rounded, sweet but still.quite bright. Definitely pushing the sweetness scale but just holding in check.

  Willi Schaefer in the afternoon (Tucson, AZ): Following the '10 G-D Spatlese AP#5
  
  A beautiful, fresh and floral nose, delivering the same wonderful slate soil notes as the other wines today. This seems to walk the line between the two previous wines. It has the lift of the 10 G-D kabinett and the weight somewhere between that and the '10 G-D Spatlese #5. For me, it has the electric beautiful acidity and lift of the kabinett, more of the same lime, apricot, beautiful honeysuckle florals, but has a little more depth and intensity, yet retains the playfulness that I adore in the kabinett. I think the '10 Spatlese may be the best wine of the three in time, but today the '13 seems to be in the slot. Yet another effortlessly beautiful wine. Drinking beautifully with plenty of time in hand. A joyful glass of wine. 95

  Pale yellow. Pronounced aromas of honeyed apricots, acacia flowers, petrol. Vibrant fruit on the palate with electric acids, tautly voluptuous, aromatic back notes on the long finish. Beautifully structured and utterly delicious.

  Willi's 2013 Spätlese #5 is a pretty damn good from this marginal vintage with a complex nose of petrol, white flower, peach, and stone. Great nose, less intensity on the palate. Drink now.

  Pale yellow. Petrol, white flowers, chalky limestone on the nose. Intense medium sweet fruit on the palate with precise focus, medium body, clean cut flavors of golden raisins and honeyed apricots, electric charges of acid, very long finish. A wine that lifts the cobwebs of the mind. 7.5% alcohol.
