Orange marmalade, honeyed apricot, pomelo, wild oats. Creamy, viscous texture, but bright, like honey lemonade. Gorgeous acid on the midpalate. Excellent mineral tinged finish, with florals and beeswax. This is drinking well, but will last easily through the decade. 25-30 year old vines primarily from parcels neighboring the top hillside sites, but also includes a pre-selection of fruit from Kiedrich Klosterberg and Gräfenberg. All stainless. 52.7 g/l RS. 750 cases made.

Muted nose. Candied peaches, pears, acidity on the palate. Could be more mineral. Barest hint of honey just starting to show. At very beginning of its drinking window and much more integrated than my last bottle 6 months ago.
Nice pairing with a grilled peach/mozzarella/candied pistachio salad.

Not on the same level as some for the the site spatlese but this despite its youth was wonderful and paired so well with sushi, notes of line, lemon rind,apple, slight honeyed notes and wet stone, really fresh and lively palate with more lime, green apple coming through, medium plus acidity and finish

Tea and fresh, graceful, lively, again, odd for me but kinda simple on the back of the palate. But that I think is because I usually tastes the dries.
From the same vineyards, top of the hill, closest to the forest. In vintages where other vineyards would already be starving of water the top of the hill near the forest holds the water.

Solid and balanced. Full bodied. Flavors lack the charming or wow factor. Pretty good wine, though.

A week or three days after the Kabinett, lots of depth there, much richness.
