  Nose of impossibly intense gardenia and hyacinth, honey, fleshy pitted fruit, and a cleansing note of petrol that carries into the mouth. Honeycomb wax is at the beginning of an incredibly long finish. The touch of sweetness is in perfect harmony with the mouth-watering acidity. Crazy good. Really sang after being opened for three hours.

  Drank in a restaurant for father in law 65th birthday.
  Clean yet expressive nose.

  Similar to previous bottle, this is developing very well. Slight petrol on the nose. Honey, citrus, and tropical fruits. Plenty of acidity and not too sweet.

  Opened at Caprice in HK for the Jean Trimbach x Egon Muller Celebration Dinner by the winemakers themselves. Slow-oxed since 3pm and poured at around 8pm.
  
  This bottle was very consistent with my other experiences with the SHB Kabinett. Slight sweetness for balance but the main notes coming through were distinctive Riesling petrol. Great finish and wonderful minerality that really helps set this wine apart from other Kabinetts around.
  
  Compared next to the Alte Reben Kabinett 2015 in the same flight, this was a little more fresh but both were performing excellently and exactly as they should. Can age, but also in a great spot right now.

  AP:02 16 ABV:8.5%. Pale straw. Hints of petrol on the nose. Mouth watering acidity. Detailed and precise. Finished with honey and lime. Not overtly sweet. A fantastic Kabinett, clearly this is aging very well since last bottle many years ago. Certainly aging better than ‘15 Julian Haart Schubertslay Kabinett.
