Drink 0-0, David Schildknecht, Vinous, Jan 2005

Peach, plum and vanilla scents. Wafts onto the palate with amazing delicacy yet creamy richness and formidable flavor concentration of pit fruits, sweet flowers, vanilla, malt and underlying wet stone. Pure, refined and extremely long on the finish. Imagine a botrytis-free Mosel Auslese Gold Capsule from, say, Fritz Haag, but with less sweetness, and you begin to get the idea. 2 stars.

Flowers, spices, and slate are found in the nose of the medium-bodied 2003 Riesling Spatlese Burrweiler Schawer. Velvety-textured and creamy, it offers a sensual, dense, boldly flavored core of salty, spicy, pulp-laden pears as well as an appealing underlying acidity that is mostly detected in its lengthy finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2014. Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300
