Community Tasting Notes (6) Avg Score: 92 points

  • Over three days in the glass.
    The wine comes from vines over 90 years old. It was matured 100% in Mosel fuder cask.

    On the first day, a strong Sponti stinker came out of the bottle. I then decanted the wine and put it back in the fridge open.

    On the two following days, the tone was more subtle, with a little stall still noticeable; the wine otherwise offers a restrained, very beautiful nose of yellow, ripe apples, a few citrus fruits and white flowers; a little rosemary and wet stone are also noticeable.

    On the crystal-clear palate, the yellow, ripe fruit with a slate-like minerality initially pushes forward discreetly. In the middle, the wine has a deep substance with a light creaminess and a fine sweetness. The powerful, yet ripe and round acidity that follows corresponds with the creaminess and sweetness of the body in such a balanced way that I have rarely experienced in a Kabinett. The wine has a perfect inner balance and is very elegant and harmonious.

    A great Kabinett with a great price-performance ratio! The wine is already nice to drink now, but can also be kept and matured for many years to come.

  • PnP, very good natural cork, 7,5% Alc., yellow color.

    Nose: Clear sponti notes, a bit flintstone, behind yellow fruit.

    Palate: Brilliant fine ripe acidity, lemon, tangerine with some peel, ultra clean. For a sweet Kabinet this tastes dry, the acidity is so brilliant that it buffers nearly all the sweetness. A fantastic mouthwatering drinking flow, nothing tyring, just the desire for the next sip, 94 pts with potential.

  • Obviously very young, the very high acidity dominates the fruit at the moment. Will improve further, but I doubt it will ever arrive MFW‘s 96 points. I was more impressed by a Dr. Hermann Ürziger Würzgarten Kabinett Alte Reben 2020 some weeks ago. 91+

  • Old vines in blue slate - 78 Öchsle.

    Some reduction, lime, pear, white flowers on the nose

    High acidity, some creaminess yet firm, salty.

    Still primary - lovely, but hold.
