Its always nice to experience these older bottlings of Schloss Schönborn. This wine has changed since I last had it even 6 months ago. Very secondary and layered. White truffle and blanched cashew abound along with a resinous honeyed richness. Chamomile tea and lime curd join in on the palate. Tremendous acid allows this the finish to go on seemingly endlessly.

This was one of those wines that I can honestly say without any doubt that it does not suck. Great minerality bright crisp fruit and razor sharp focus. Absolutely pleasure to drink.

Unfortunately improper storage led to pretty significant #ullage The acid and structure had faded away completely. This was #offdry with some interesting oxidative and petrol notes. #riesling #schlossschonborn #germany #ctbucklinwine

Iconic. These 90s vintages really hold up. Acid and residual are perfect, with lovely slow aging. 94 auslese Paired with foie.

Petrol! Lots of petrol, blanched nuts, lime meringue, stonefruit blossom, ripe white peach, white tea, green banana, hints of radish and a huge mineral presence. The spine of acidity is vibrant and focused. Awesome
