  August 1, 2020 - A lush, tropical smoothie. Passionfruit, pine-apple, tangy citrus bitterness in the finish. Frothy, satisfying and utterly drinkable at 7,5% ABV.

  March 16, 2017 - Pop and poured. At home. Drank over 2.5 hours.
  Appearance is clear, medium intensity, yellow-gold colour. Thin legs.
  Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of slate and stone minerality, honey, pineapple, ripe yellow peach, slight petroleum. Developed.
  On the palate, medium sweet, high acidity, low alcohol (7.5%), medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of honey, ripe yellow peach, pineapple, green apple, slate and stone minerality. Long finish.
  Very good quality. The richest Kabinett I have tasted so far. If drank blind I would have guessed Spatlese. Yes Nahe's Rieslings are more weighty than Mosel's, but this is very much richer. Just feels a bit clunky and lumbering on the palate as it warms up in the glass. Acidity dips a little. Time to drink and enjoy.

  November 26, 2015 - This wine is quite sweet for a kabinett without the lift you get from Tim's magnificent spatlese renderings. Seems rather two dimensional compared to an 07 bockenauer spatlese (and not the GK) which followed. For current consumption, the 09 kabs from Donnhoff are considerably more light-footed.

  July 25, 2015 - At home over cards with Allen and Shin. This was A really rich Kabinett, and still quite primary to boot. It had some quality, but this really does not seemed to have developed much from the last bottle 4 years ago. Grapey sugar aromas on the nose were just starting to give way to green apple, peach and mineral shades. On the palate, sweet, Spatlese-like flavours of green apples were coated with more honeyed stone fruit and another layer of that primary, grapey sweetness. This was all balanced by a nice bit of mouthwatering acidity and there was a real substance to the way the wine filled the mouth into the back palate, but it just somehow felt a bit tight-fisted and brutish. Overall, decently good, but the next bottle will only be open in 3-4 years time.

  June 4, 2012 - Again (see my previous note) a lovely, pure and balanced wine with a sweetness unbelievable for a Kabinett.
  One point better than the 2007 Schloss Lieser Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese, the Bockenauer
  is a real bargain.
