A bit severe and very dry, huge rocky-slate and petrol nose, tart citrusy acids powering through complex apple flavors -- like fresh green apples and unfiltered apple cider -- and fairly short finish. Cleansing. Drink up.

Again, a nice Kabinett. Showing a little muted right now, seems to be in a little bit of transition from young and vibrant to having a bit more aged characteristics. Still, a great wine for the price with good Rheingau specificity.

Decanted for a little while before drinking, and this showed superbly. Fantastic complex nose with lots of smoke, flowers and hints of petrol amidst white fruit and minerals. Intense and full bodied on the palate with rich flavours of smoke, green apple, grapefruit, lemon and minerals around a core of acidity and minerals. Finishes with good length.

Light yellow colour. Initially tightly wound on the nose and giving little away - with a couple of days in the fridge this started to open out showing lovely aromatics with smoky, creamy flavours mingled with apple, grapefruit and minerals. Surprisingly rich (for a Kabinett) on the palate with lots of power and rich flavours of green apple, pear, citrus fruits and earthy minerals. Good acidity underneath. Very long finish.

An excellent Kabinett. light citrus notes. Pear, with balanced acid and minerality.
