Vacation wines; 6/27/2023-7/6/2023 (Hotel Sonne, Partschins, IT): Glass: Spiegelau Universal Popped and poured. Clear, youthful pale golden color. Beautiful nose with sweet stone fruit, wet stones, slate, herbs. Very harmonious and multi-layered. On the palate fresh as a daisy. Pure elegance, harmony and balance. Wonderful combination of fruit, sweetness and acidity. Complex and multi-layered, but also refreshing and simply delicious. Long and lingering finish. Potential for another decade. 94-95

This is absolutely spectacular- it carries a lot of residual sugar and has a viscous mouthfeel but has a tremendous amount of acidity that cuts through it all. Typical Schaefer genius. Needs spicy food to perform best!

Golden yellow and mid-density. Pretty good, though I wouldn't say this has evolved particularly well or improved since my last bottle four years ago. Doesn't seem to have gained much complexity, and more importantly, feels lacking in acidity.

Two bottles of this and I *loved* both. This is intense and deep and grand Auslese. But still plenty bright and balanced. Superb with food.

A bit more age on this wine and it benefited from it… graceful and smooth, not demanding but gently sweet.
