Opened this bottle with my wifes roast duck this weekend. 2nd time I have had it with consistent notes. Moderately sweet for a kabinett. Very fine and my favorite pairing with the duck. 90-91 points.

Nose was a little reserved, but it drank wonderfully. Really good weight in the mouth, clean and crisp apricot, dates and wet stone. Solid value at under $20. Perfect with my spicy Chinese dinner. By itself it might be a little cloying.

Opened at Zintoberfest. This was my favorite kabinett poured at this party and stood out among the other four 2005 kabs. A soft supple kab with a typical sweetness level. Notes of white fruit and good minerality. This was better than the 2002 and 2003 vintages of this wine (both 87 points) but not as good as the outstanding 2001 version (92-93 points). I rate this bottle 90-91 points.
