Dense color and flavor for a Kabinett. Dry finish but has the richness of a dry Auslese, as another CTer mentioned. Also, the apple / pear notes are ripe, not green. While the aromas are still going strong almost 20 years down the road, the acidity has not. It's a little flat, which limits how much my wife and I enjoyed drinking it. This will just get worse with more time, so drink up!

Signature motor oil/old classic car scent, apple cider. Full and concentrated. This may say Kabinett, but at 18 years of age it's drinking like an Auslese. Good spring-time wine.

Note: I use a rating scale for which 85 represents a very good wine.
Very nice Kabinett. Did not seem too old or close to that. Good balance. Fairly standard Riesling palate. A very good wine, not outstanding in my opinion, but very good.

Just another stupid-good Riesling from 2004.
My last bottle.
