Just incredible. Golden color, haunting aromatics with petrol and yellow fruits. Outstanding mouthfeel with some sugar but incredible acidity. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face drinking this. 94

Luis's btl for our German, Alsace & Loire dinner in St Paul MN ( Pot hole capital of the US & apparently where snow removal is not high on Mayor Carter's list ). 12 of us gathered for an admirable assortment of Reisling & decent Thai. I enjoyed this much more than I expected! I was anticipating a fullish, creamy, richer style based on previous Willi Schaefers. Instead, this showed quite fresh and energized and actually kind of, captivating. A very nice Mosel landed in my glass tonight!. OTOH, Joe G's '12 from the same vyd showed all the WS traits I'm not fond of :). I'd drink this '09 again!

Showing beautifully now. Ripe fruit & white flowers on the nose. Grapefruit, citrus peel, slate. Not too sweet, acid & mineraly frame this well. Powerful, elegant, structured. Will visit another bottle in a couple years. Feel like this has layers to reveal.

Fantastic nose but the taste was a little weak and disappointing.
