  Didn't enjoy as much as previous blt. This one seemed to show more petrol and little less fresh than my memory of my August btl with more bass tones. I'll buy another and see what happens. 89pts tonight / 91pts in August.

  This is fantastic. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy great Mosel. Rarely eat spicy food that really pairs best with it. This really make a nice refreshing aperitif too. This is balanced and complex. Slate, lemon, grapefruit, apple, orange peel and spice. Light petrol, barely noticed it. Pungent and lip smacking good. Hard not to guzzle it. Paid $15, drinks like $30+. 91pt+ Going back for more. QBA to Kabinett is where I live and this is great Kabinett with very little sweetness.

  WSET Level 3 Class.
  
  Clear, medium lemon. Clean, youthful, medium-intensity nose, with aromas of blossom, grapefruit, tangerine, green apple, and honey. Off-dry on the palate, high acid, medium(-) alcohol, medium body, medium(+) intensity, and a flavor profile that matches the nose. Long finish. Very good, can drink now but will improve, high price.

  Half bottle. Pale. Tart orange and a whiff of flowers. Light, dry, true Kabinett style with rocky finish. Very refreshing.
