Short note - still fresh youthfull, lime, slate, peach, high acidity, off-dry palate, nectar and floral notes, very precise and clean. Very good if not outstanding quality, 91-92p

Remains pale; expressive, typical Mosel, fresh, direct, develops floral & sandstone notes ; crackling energy, dry - touch of residua, well proportionedl; finishes dry but dramatic, sweeping finish. Later more blunt. Will easily age 5, but better now.

Lime zest and juice, canned peach, rusty iron, and wet slate. Brilliant balance of zesty acidity, moderate sweetness and salty minerality. Just lovely!

PnP in a restaurant. In nose there isn´t any hint of the maturity of 8 years. In the nose grape juice with tropical fruit - not with excessive character but subtle. Also on the palate no hint of the maturity. Blind I would guess of a max. 4 years old Kabinett. On the palate same fruit but accompanying with fresh acidity and present slate zest. Very good balance.
I would not say that this QbA might be better in 2 years, but it will hold that current wonderful level for at least another 4-5 years.
Very surprisingly experience for me.

Agree with BERLINHOTEL on extra sweetness. Probably due to the outstanding vintage. Excellent and prime drinking.
