Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 25, 2015 - This is starting to show a little age and was very pleasant indeed. The over sweet 2007 character had subsided a bit, which made the wine a whole lot more pleasurable to drink. On the nose, little tones of slatey mineral were starting to come out amidst the more honeyed stone fruit notes. The palate felt sleeker and more balanced as well. The fruit was still rather fuller and more plump than one would normally associate with a Kabinett of this age, with peaches and pineapples on the attack; but the cut and freshness has started showing more, as were dryer nuances of citrus zest and stony mineral leading into a nicely long finish with a nice bittersweet grapefruit tang and a little drift of petrol. This is shaping up quite nicely indeed. It will always be on the riper side, but give it a few more years to shed what is left of its puppy fat and integrate a bit more and it should be a really nice drink. 91+
