Everything here is in precise, delicate balance. Vibrant fruit, acid, mineral, a bit of fuel; all singing together. It was nice with chicken skewers and fattoush.

Alcohol :: 8% Breath in the bottle for 2hrs. This has developed slightly more kerosene note but there was attractive complex aromas of mango, lemon, yellow floral scents and mineral to go with it. On the palate it was similar to the previous bottle but with even better integration and harmony. It possesses ripe, mouth watering acidity with intensity and sweetness closed to Spatlese. Wave after wave of sweet yellow fruits and mineral dancing on the palate with excellent tension. Juicy long finished lingering with mineral and sweet lemon aftertaste. Wonderful, I can drink this all day!

2011 Casual Session - 19 @ ES (Extra Space Boon Keng): Alcohol :: 8% Popped and poured and this already very promising with it's lovely aromas of ripe mango, peaches, lemon, salted plum with little touch of slate and kerosene, very focus and aromatic. This is obviously bless by 2007 vintage as this kabinett possess superb richness and intensity, more like a Spatlese. I really like the tension here, a bit showy and lots of sweet ripe yellow fruits around the palate but remain highly focus with razor sharp precision. So vibrant and juicy, the touch of kerosene and sweet lemon, creamy mouth feel was perfectly support by the ripe, mouth watering acidity that leads to the medium length, slight dry finish with mineral aftertaste. This goes really well with the hainanese chicken rice with chili sauce!
