2nd of 4 bottles. This sweet Kabinett clocks in at 8% abv. Showing off tangerine, ripe apricot, lychee and honey; there is considerable RS on the mid-palate and finish. There is also some spicy white pepper and considerable minerality on the finish. Delicious, drink now through 2024+.

Pretty Riesling, only 8% abv, so there is considerable RS, but seems balanced quite nicely by the lively acidity. Shows off just a hint of petrol as the tangerine and orange aromas shine through, and perhaps a hint of white peppery zing. Feels a bit round on the palate, but the acidity catches up and rides the rail into the medium-length finish. A very nice wine at $21 USD, but being this sweet, I can only handle a glass at a time. Drink now through 2020.

Very much in line with my previous note. The petrol note that is initially so obvious does fade with airing, leaving a very juicy and zippy bottle of Riesling.

Consumed 3rd of 4 bottles, last tasted about a year prior. Did not take a formal TN, consumed with spicy Thai food and was good.
