  Peach, lime leaf, some orange citrus. Slight amount of petrol, some slate and stone notes. Leans towards the heavier side of Kabinett, but it has enough acidity to balance it, so it doesn't come across as fat or unbalanced. Drinks well now, but clearly no rush. Picked up on closeout at $22.50. Will hold the other bottles for several more years.

  Has indeed gained with an extra year in the bottle, and I look forward to seeing how it goes next spring as well.

  Super Riesling- silky, wonderfully ripe and pure fruit. Wish I’d bought more of the 2019.

  Aroma of Mosel Riesling-green apples, some pears, candied tropical fruits, and of course, minerality.
  
  Medium-bodied. Great flavors of peach ring candy, sweet limes, ripe apples, not-too-ripe mango. But the star of the show is the mineral underpinning and spicy, fresh acidity that lingers through the medium, saline speckled finish.
  
  I agree with previous notes that the RS is a bit more noticeable than other kabinetts. This kab has good structure and tension between stony minerality and fruit flavors. A bit weighty on the palate, but man it's so easy to drink and has easily recognizable depth and complexity.
  
  91 pts for me.
