With Asian chicken salad. Like too many Kabinett level Rieslings this leans more off sweet for me than classically off dry. Seems to lack a bit of zip too causing it to feel a bit fullish. Ripe, rich & not what I hoped for.

rich and fruit-driven. polar opposite to the herbal/saline Merkelbachs from Urziger Wurzgarten<<<which is mind-blowing.
almost tempted to say "tropical" fruit but it really isn't IMO. it's just very expressive/ripe melon and greengage plum with the acid and pith of lemon. a bit oily... slightest hint of gasoline that's more evident in the mouth than on the nose.
there's considerable rs to go with the fruit, too. medium-plus in texture for Kabinett. medium acid.
seems at the upper level of body/rs for Kabinett but not offensively so

Excellent and classic wine at this level. Exotic fruit and good piercing acidity. Not a complicated wine but certainly a lovely one. Very easy to drink.
