Full yellow. Yellow peach and a bit of almond on the nose. Fairly ripe and sweet for a Kabinett. Stone fruit, vanilla bean, spice, and soil with firm acidity and a late tropical fruit note. Very good.
Even more delicious and focused the second night

Deep gold. Rock n roll. See last note with vanilla bean and a little nutmeg, pink grapefruit and nectarine. Mount Wratchet is picking up star fruit. I love this wine. More on the way.

(von Othegraven Kanzem Altenberg Riesling Kabinett Erste Lage) ($34.00) More exotic than the Bockstein; more solid too, it stands up straighter (whereas the Bockstein just dances); maple-cured ham aromas, but with air this swells and broadens, and is just a stone’s flick from perfection; a glorious counterpoint of salts, minerals, fruits, dramatically saltier and more explicitly dialectical than Bockstein – longer also. Just perhaps not quite as adorable. **
(Weingut von Othegraven Kanzemer Altenberg Riesling Kabinett) Light yellow color; rich tart apple nose; tart apple, mineral palate; medium-plus finish 90+ points
(von Othegraven Kanzem Altenberg Riesling Kabinett Erste Lage) ($42.00) More exotic than the Bockstein; more solid too, it stands up straighter (whereas the Bockstein just dances); maple-cured ham aromas, but with air this swells and broadens, and is just a stone’s flick from perfection; a glorious counterpoint of salts, minerals, fruits, dramatically saltier and more explicitly dialectical than Bockstein – longer also. Just perhaps not quite as adorable.
(Weingut von Othegraven Riesling Kabinett Kanzemer Altenberg Erste Lage) After a pleasant, light, closed nose and a palate hinting at fruit salad, the finish is lingering and complex. Still somewhat wound up, but juicy, long, and balanced. The Saar: Forging Its Own Path

ultra ripe for a Kab but with bright acidity cutting through. Petrol, vaseline, rubber nose. So concentrated, bright, and fresh. Wow.

Lightning energy, full of verve but with enough flesh to hold onto. Big for kabinett. Amazing.
