Attractive nose still in its primary vein, with notes of apple and pear, along with a hint of crushed stone. The mouthfeel is pillowy soft, with only barely perceptible sweetness, coupled with a brisk and gripping acidity. The finish is long and still quite compact in its flavor presentation, a coil of orange pith. No signs of oxidation here. This is drinking well but still some years from showing everything it has, I suspect.

Yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of apricot, quince,orange peel and a hint of cinnamon. Flavors of apricot, persimmon and pear. Bright acidity, full bodied. Drink or hold.

Four years after the prior: Earthy golden straw in color. Savory lanolin. Slightly viscous. Nice backbone acidity. Looking back at our previous note, this appears to have developed very nicely. Highly enjoyable meted out small pours over four nights.

Big nose of yellow apple, honey, citrus and raisin. Vibrant acidity, med+ body. Well integrated sweetness, less pertruding than in most kabinetts. Palette of minerals, honey, lemon and apple. Long finish.
Served with honey-roasted pork ribs and corn, a surprisingly epic pairing. The sweet corn and the residual sugar really played ball!
