The nose is lively and balanced with Limes, peaches, white fruits, acacia flowers, crush rocks, saline, and green apples. The Light bodied feel is crisp and vibrant with racy, high acidity. This is a delicious Kabinett that shows off a lot of electricity. I can see this aging well for years to come, but I would need to keep these far away from me if they were my bottles.
The nose is immediate and fresh with Peaches, green apples, quince, nectarines, white flowers, saline, pears, and jasmine. The light bodied feel dances across the palate with zesty, high acidity. This is a delicious Kabinett that is light on its feet and shows off excellent length to the finish.
Where the 18 was more in the fresh citrus category, this is bursting with tropical notes of guava, saline, mineral notes, peaches, green apples, white fruits, pears, and papaya. The Light bodied feel is fresh and lively with crisp, h acid. This feels like it needs a few years to calm down. There is a lot to like here already, but there is much more to give.
This is showing a bit tight at the moment with Saline, peaches, green apples, white fruits, mint, herbs, nectarines, acacia flowers, and mineral notes. The Medium/light bodied feel has some density and heft, but it isn’t weighty at all. The high acidity is crisp and mouthwatering with a lengthy and pleasing finish. This will need some age as there is a lot of stuffing here. There is a lot of class and depth across the nose and palate with a succulent quality that is hard to resist.
The nose is very giving and spring-like as it fills the glass with White flowers, peaches, green apples, pears, saline, herbs, mint, and crushed rocks. There is good depth to the nose, but it’s in a rather straightforward style. The light bodied feel has a playfulness to it and it lacks a little depth along with tart, high acidity. This has shed some of its baby fat and is moving into something more mature. I’m not sure it’s fully there yet (or will ever get “there”) and this feels like another couple of years will benefit it.
The nose is complex and melded, filling the glass with creamed Peaches, red apples, nectarines, pears, flowers, mineral notes, saline, some scrambled eggs, and kumquats. The Light bodied feel shows off some de airy that belies its size along with racy, h acid. This feels like it’s entering its window. There is a lot to like about it right now and it probably could’ve benefitted from more air as the reduction was just a bit too much at first.
The nose is aromatic and forward with Peaches, nougat, vanilla beans, pears, red and green apples, flowers, minerals, and some limes. The Light bodied feel is playful with crisp, high acidity. This is still youthful and exuberant while showing some development. This is in that place where you can easily drink it and take in all sorts of primary enjoyment or it can age to let the tertiary notes start to emerge.
The nose is clearly mature and in an advanced stage with tones of Nougat, caramel, red apples, creamed peaches, and some honey. The Medium bodied feel has some density, yet it lacks on the mid-palate with tart, medium+ acidity. This is a lovely and fully mature(if on the downslope) Auslese. This isn’t really my style of wine at this point, but it is a great showing and one that I fully appreciate.
The nose is fresh and mineral-driven with Crushed rocks, pears, peaches, green apples, papaya, saline, and flint notes. The Light bodied feel is fresh and vibrant with zesty, high acidity. This is just lovely right now. There is a lot of freshness and zeal with enough acidity to add tension.
The nose is showing maturity, but still with some freshness as the tones are more rounded and working together with Quince, red apples, eggs, peaches, pears, nectarines, saline, mineral notes, and yellow flowers. The Light bodied feel is playful, but with purpose while the crisp, high acidity has integrated beautifully and is more of a spine than being on the forefront. This feels like it’s right in its zone. In some ways, this kind of got lost in the big lineup and I really would like to spend more time with a bottle (hopefully) in the future.
The nose is showing off a much more mature side as it permeates in the glass with caramel, honey, quince, red apples, creamed peaches, nectarines, pears, and yellow flowers. The Medium bodied feel is textured and silky while showing off excellent depth. The well-integrated, high acidity cuts through beautifully to provide some backbone. This is just beautiful right now.
The nose is fresh and spring-like with Peaches, pears, green apples, mint, ginger, flowers, and nectarines. The Light bodied feel has a playful quality to it with tart, high acidity. This is drinking very well on the young side and still has plenty of life ahead.
The nose shows off a succulent intensity to it as it fills the glass with Nectarines, red apples, peaches, caramel, honeydew, mineral notes, and various white flowers. There is a nice silkiness to the Light bodied feel with good density while the high acidity has some excellent cut. This is a textured and delicious Auslese that can be drunk now or aged for a good while.
Where the younger Ausleses showed off a more upfront intensity, this takes on a more subtle and enveloping take as it permeates in the glass with Peaches, honeydew, red apples, pears, nectarines, caramel, honey, nougat, and flowers. The Medium/light bodied feel is succulent, deep, and polished while showing off crisp, high acidity. This is in a glorious place right now and a real treat to drink.
