  9,5% alcohol. Tasted blind among 46 other 2017 Riesling Kabinetts in Kabinett Cup 2017.
  
  Youthful, pale whitish-green color. Somewhat understated and slightly reductive nose with stuffy aromas of grassy greenness, some canned vegetables and a mineral hint of stone dust. The wine is rather neutral and dilute on the palate with somewhat tired overall feel and rather watery medium-sweet flavors of ripe citrus fruits and a hint of stony minerality. The moderately high acidity lends some freshness and sense of structure to the wine, but with this much sweetness, the acidity could be higher. The off-dry finish is somewhat tired and flabby with rather neutral flavors of ripe citrus fruits and a hint of pithy grapefruit.
  
  Meh. A very dull, boring and remarkably tasteless Kabinett. Lots of sugary sweetness with very understated fruit character. The wine is lacking in the freshness and precision I look for in a good Kabinett. To me, this was a disappointment, but the wine managed to score 1 point from the 12 judges. resulting in 32nd place of 46 wines.
