Community Tasting Note

Putnam Weekley Likes this wine:

Sunday, January 16, 2022 - From 375ml. They say sweeter grapes can mask terroir, especially in the Mosel. They say Kabinett is the key to understanding these vineyards. This wine belies that supposition. 7.5% abv. AP 13. Pretty. Cream, pineapple, pear and lemon candy hoisted on a sleepy fizz of straw gold. Baked, slate crust. Hydrating, juicy rushes of orchard blossom. Bing cherries. Marzipan. Calcium. Apricot. Thorough, penetrating acidity. Chardonnay-like glycerin—nothing syrupy. I’m a little surprised to find no sensation of sulfur here—not a trace. I'll assume the half-bottle format helped advance it's readiness to drink, suitable in 2022, but I'll keep more for drinking in the 2030s.
