Disappointing. Lazy wine with decent tasting fruit, some mineral and petrol but not nearly enough acidity to give any cut or brightness. Much richer than I hope for in a Kabinett

Bright fruit, crisp and plenty of acid to take on spicy Asian food. It was a good match to Szechuan dish w/ pepper sauce. Overall an excellent value in a German Riesling.

The nose is on this Riesling shows honey, baked apple and floral notes. It's pretty, but smells kind of sugary.
To me, the palate is a bit sweet for a dry Riesling. I get acacia honey, dried green apple and pear juice notes. I would like to see more acid structure in this wine as well.
Pleasant, but nothing to write home about.

Not a bad Kabinett, but I found it to be a little flat and uninteresting. Mildly crisp with smells of apple and caramel. Length around 20 seconds. For my taste, I would look for more bright acidity, complexity and development across the palate.
