These are the German wines we have:

1988 Schloss Schonborn Erbacher Marcobrunn Spatlese


$40.00

Deep green-gold color. Nicely expansive fragrance, with hints of butter, toffee, figs, orange peel, and apricot. Subtly rich and dense, while maintaining a superbly racy delicacy. Great depth of fruit in the mouth, apricot, banana, litchi, and peachy ripeness, with a velvety, nearly creamy texture. Juicy acidity provides a lively balance, lingering through a long and complex finish. Perfumed, harmonious, and refined, with all the breed of this great site. This seems like it?s just beginning to show really well.






1988 Schloss Schonborn Hattenheimer Pfaffenberg Spatlese


$40.00

Deep green-gold color. Fragrant nose, redolent of ripe apples, baked orange peel, and fresh pollen. Lots of depth and dimension, very opulently perfumed and really well-built. Brightly fresh on the attack, returning to an orange, tangerine rind, strawberry candy, and fresh apricot complexity. Nice richness and depth. Scintillating finish, long, subtly complex, classy.






1988 Schloss Schonborn Rudesheimer Berg Schlossberg Spatlese


$35.00

Deep green-gold color. Peach-skin, red berry, cream, and iron ore aromatics. Great depth of fruit on the palate, but very sleek and racy with impeccable balance, not at all heavy or weighed down by its concentration. Combines mandarin orange, peach, and fresh apricots. Ripeness and sheer depth of fruit subdued by piquant acidity. Finishes expansive, long, and superbly aromatic. This really shows its grand cru breed.






1990 Schloss Schonborn Hattenheimer Pfaffenberg Spatlese


$35.00

Medium green-gold color. Apricot, tangerine, orange peel, wet stone, and slate on the nose. Perfectly balanced, with beautiful delicacy. Lovely expansion in the mouth, but retains a delicately aromatic tone, perfumed and floral, but very intense. Finishes with a little less length than expected, but with a tight core of juicy depth. Very clean and refreshing.






1990 Schloss Schonborn Rudesheimer Berg Shlossberg Spatlese


$35.00

Medium green-gold color. Richly textured in the nose. Powerful and intense. Apricot and orange fruit is quite primary, but is subdued by slate, wet cement, and a slight earthiness. Beautifully built. Pungent attack on the palate, punching intensity, with a smooth depth and silky richness. Orange floral quality, with a slate-driven perfume and taut vibrancy. Gripping on back end, aristocratically refined and incredibly sleek, carries its weight superbly. Long, intense finish, very floral, very perfumed.
