Coremus Cioran
Promising young Spätlese from Willi Schaefer, boasting a unified symmetry of fresh apple notes, floral undertones, and a mild smokiness. As it ages, it may reveal nuances of honey and a slightly astringent finish. The palate's viscosity is well-balanced, with a peachy nuance adding depth. A promising start, but with potential for further refinement.
Yure
Opulent and full-bodied Demi-sec Riesling with a elegant seamlessness of green apple, honey, and minerality, featuring a zesty and clean finish.
Dinoysus
The 2017 Mosel has been a long-standing challenge, but the wines are slowly revealing their full potential. Willi Schaefer's 2017 Himmelreich Spätlese is a standout, boasting a lively and vibrant character. Its accents are a masterful blend of honey, peach, pineapple, green apple, melon, and pear, all harmoniously seamless and finishing with a crisp, lively quality. during it's still relatively young, this wine is already showing remarkable richness and complexity. Its ending is long and satisfying, making it a joy to drink. It's a testament to the wine's potential that it's already beginning to show signs of aging, and it's likely to improve with time. However, it's also clear that the wine is best enjoyed now, and it's already being consumed in large quantities. A true gem, and one that will be worth savoring in the years to come.
