Still in great mood! This Kabi is on its peak now I guess. Will be different with further aging but not better for my preferable taste. Light golden in the glass. The nose is driven by various fruit of quitte, backed pineaple, green apple, ripe grapefruit, overripe lemon, a hint of honey and dried herbs. Same on the palate with minerals and a nice acidic backbone, which brings freshness. For a 15 years als Kabi this is great. And its not overly sweet. Unfortunately my last bottle but great!

Citrus, lemon, sweet grapefruit, green apples, herbs and stones. A bit oily viscosity but no signs of age. Nice acidity level which is not too dominant. Very nicely balanced. Even it's an off-dry Kabinett it is more dry than off-dry. In great shape. Lovely. Don't need to be in a hurry, further ageing potential guaranteed.

Beautiful classic Kabinett. After 11 years, it still shows great freshness. Impeccably balanced with beautiful fruit. Will drink nicely for another 5+ years

A private lunch (Restaurant Schwarzenstein - Nils Henkel *, Geisenheim, Germany): Light but intense, mineral and fresh, off-dry, peach and citrus, aromatic green herbs, waxy bottle age (but no petrol), finishes with a touch of green apple, good length. Delightful.
