Consistent with previous reviews. Nose of fresh blueberry pie, mixed berry, some cinnamon. Palate is big bodied and viscous with deeply concentrated fruit and little tannin to speak of. The alcohol shows through a bit too much for me on the finish. This is not my type of wine anymore but I can appreciate it for what it is.

Petrol, yellow apple, white flower, some juniper berry. The palate was in great balance with a prickly acidity poking through the moderate sweetness level. Intense and long as well, with a finish of puckering acidity. Everything you could ask for in a ~$30 mosel kab, and will improve with years (and decades?) to come, drink now through 2035 however I don't have too much experience with older wines with this sweetness level but could see wines like this being truly ageless due to their RS, so obviously no rush. 91-92 points with potential.

My fourth time having this wine. Just phenomenal value. Ripe cali tree fruits but interesting vanilla curd notes as well. The palate is not heavy or viscous but instead medium bodied, very concentrated and bright with acid. I bought out the rest of the store. In a sweet spot right now and drink in the next 1-2 years. 92-93pts.
