  My impressions are very similar to acyso - liked this a lot, found it surprisingly rich for a Falkenstein Kabinett, but it's one I'd happily put in the cellar and see what happens with another decade or so.

  At Wu's Wonton King. Perhaps a little bit softer and less cut than I would expect for a Falkenstein, but that's the 2018 vintage for you. Easy-going and very enjoyable now without too much fuss; very nice mineral chew here. Not as complex with a heart-on-its-sleeve expressiveness, but delicious all the same.

  有着迷人而干净的香气，淡淡的黄油、鲜奶和奶油包裹着迷人精妙的白桃、苹果（糖心苹果那种清甜的感觉）和柚子之类的果味，安静细腻而又优雅，撩人心弦，矿物均匀地分散，萃取细致，带有恰到好处的收敛感。富有深度。中后段有些许粉笔灰和迷迭香。整体一直在变化，时而果香突出，时而白花弥漫。入口清澈匀整，有厚度和很好的集中度，结构感强，酸度较高，浸润整体，后段有力，筋骨感比较突出。果味精巧宜人。白桃、苹果、油桃、淡淡的柚子柑橘，还有一点桂花蜜和白花，中后段的香草碎和板岩，他深度来打动人心，收尾中长。
  慢慢醒，变得柔软中带着劲度，香气中后段出现了清新的草坪气息。一个多小时后，饱满度出来了，有着很棒的质地。
  第二天晚上，嗅觉中有些白桃乌龙。香气中有着下潜的花香，还有一点点酵母味。入口劲度十足，酸度具线性感。柚子、葡萄柚、苹果、油桃和各种核果交融着，有着吃猕猴桃般的酥麻感。喝下后呼吸中都有着薄荷的清凉感。矿物感明显但细致，似乎是带着一点酸奶味的石灰。
  第三天，口中的矿物感和金属感很有力，中后收尾有着各种各样地余韵，花果盛开。
  第四天，细腻弥漫的花香，紧凑有力的酸度，集中的结构，干净如水晶一般，又自行流深。
  第五天，喝起来有些干姜的辛辣感，酸度有些扩散到酒体里，整体轻重相济，干浸出物之外，还有油桃、柠檬和油柑等。
  第六天，黑醋栗，一点点草莓，桃子，包裹在奶油里的碎石，薄荷和香草的清凉辛辣。酸度有力，持续集中，出现一点淡淡的清凉药草碎
  94+/100

  一开始香气还比较隐约，如梦幻泡影，清新的柑橘、白桃、柠檬、醋栗，一切都如朦胧的轻纱漫舞，似乎雾气，犹抱琵琶，中后段出现一些新鲜柠檬草等草本，细致而光滑的矿和些许石灰粉，在醒酒过后会出现一点松子的油脂感。入口酸度锐利、高挑而强烈，线性地流动于口腔，直抵喉咙，还能激起丝丝生津。酒体中，集中度高，结构感好，薄薄一层萃取物，如轻轻抚摸舌面一般，涟漪一般，随着醒酒这种酥麻感会变得强烈些。果味层次感好，柚子、白油桃、葡萄柚、油柑等，略带一些花蜜，几朵白花。清澈至极，又活泼明朗，泉水叮咚，激起的水珠在阳光下熠熠生辉，还有沁凉感。中后段带有些马鞭草、新鲜的番茄叶和薄荷之类的味道，伴随着打磨得光滑的矿物感，带咸鲜，十分经典，是理想中的Kabinett。美中不足的是收尾略短。94+/100

  Nice minerality and acidity, but the flavors are more muted than my bottle of a year earlier. I think it's in a dumb phase now. I'm going to hold my remaining bottles for another 5 years minimum; it will be interesting to see how they age. Recommend hold.
