Fill was 3 inches below the cork, which was soaked and mouldy and fell into the bottle as soon as Mr. Durand touched it.. 😳
Yet…. Still fresh as a daisy! Healthy golden colour with a copper tinge. Elegantly fruited and flowered, slatey and saline minerality. Off-dry medium-bodied palate. A wine with a distinguished personality, really self-assured and completely at ease. — 2 months ago

Love that petrol taste in German Riesling. Lots of sugar but high in acidity. — 8 months ago

This showed much younger and fresher than its age. While pure, fresh and in good harmony, the wine lacked the depth and complexity that I usually associate with Schaefer’s wines.

Light yellow colour, beautiful nose of slate, pineapple, apple, palate sweet and again very fruity with a good acidity, very intense and a long finish, typical but a very good made semisweet mosel Riesling — 4 years ago

2001 is a top vintage for Mosel Riesling and it shows. Fresh as a daisy and very charming.

Petrol nose. Peach / green apple. Not too acidic and dry enough to hide the sweetness. — 10 months ago

Suuper reductive, with funky notes of petrol and sour cream. Quite spritely too - almost lemonade-like. The palate is intense, concentrated, powerful and acidic and honestly quite inscrutable at this stage. Wow, this is a serious Riesling that demands patience. 90++ — 2 years ago

One of many wines I bumped into when reorganizing my cellar. A real Aha!-experience and an old-time favorite.
Light and bright yellow in the glass. Subtle complexity. Mouthwatering hints of green tea, jasmin, ginger, white pepper, lemonpeel, white peach and wet rocks. Drinking beautifully now, and the following decade.
Wonderful balance between sweetness, freshness, salinity and acidity. This is all about refinement. A classic Mosel beauty. 😍 — 4 years ago

My first time with this vntg. More spatlese on the nose than GG: lovely guava and mango, a touch of saffron, lychee, so tropical and dense. On the palate: good acidity and density: sour apple, lemon, here we get the GG extract and density. This intensifies in the mouth and has considerable density on the finish. Yum. Less well-delineated than '15 forward, and, unsurprisingly, showing more signs of age. — 5 years ago
