This is an exercise in co-habitation of power and elegance. Needs a little time to open up, but hits a good rhythm pretty quickly. Well balanced honeyed fruit & a strong wash of acidity across the mid palate. That balance is lovely, but I look for more layers & can't really find them here. Texturally, this is marvelous with a lovely mid-weight palate to keep the off-dryness in check.
This is wonderfully easy to enjoy & has seemingly the right amount of everything to make for an enjoyable Kabinett. Those searching for more complexity will need to climb the single vineyard ladder, but this is ultimately quite satisfying.

Painfully young. Really opens up after a couple of nights in the fridge. Like the weight of the wine, moderate sweetness with peaches and a nice touch of bitterness on the finish.

Really quite ripe, lots of peaches and other stone fruits. Ripe tree fruits, pear, apple. Honeyed fruit, ripe off dry, good weight and texture.
