  Erste Alterungsspuren. Saftige Nektarine. Ein schöner Sommerbegleiter, der vermutlich allen gefällt die nichts gegen fruchtsüß haben. Mir persönlich fehlt etwas der Gegenpart: die Säure. Stellenweise quietscht er und blind kann es für mich auch eine Spätlese sein. Vielleicht hat er seine highperformance bereits hinter sich.

  Cork. Alc 8.5%.
  Pristine orchard fruits, balanced acid and sweetness. Seamless, harmonious.

  Peaches, lime, nice balance, doing just fine. Gets quite floral (citrus blossoms with air). Sweet but not at all cloying, more apparent acid than in youth. B+

  At nearly 15 years of age, this is in good shape. On the two previous occasions I've drunk it in 2009 and 2015 I rated it fine. Back in 2009 it was very primary, of course, and all about apples. In 2015, it was yellow peach and apricot, perhaps because that next bottle, in retrospect, now seems to have been a little advanced, with its burnished, mature-looking yellow colour. I found that bottle to certainly behave more like a spätlese, than a kabinett. This 3rd bottle contained a wine of a medium yellow colour and a nose that initially was more citrus than anything else, with a dash of exotic fruit in the background. After an hour, the citrus was replaced by something akin to waxy pear which has seen a smattering of dried herbs – making it more interesting than when first opened. When first put to the mouth, it was also suggestive of a lighter spätlese with a good concentration of sweet yellow fruit. For the first hour, I thought it very good, but less complex than expected. Yet, when the nose changed its direction to pear, the palate improved, becoming more like proper kabi, light on its feet and fresh as a daisy. Very good plus in the end. Will cellar well on the basis of this bottle.
