November 5, 2020 - Eight years of fruity baby fat is gone, showing almost feinherb sweetness on the finish. hard lemon candy, grapefruit, apple with green herbal notes, thyme, acidity almost pops and there is tension straight out of the fridge. Coming from a limestone stratum adds something extra. Hints of fresh ginger and mouth watering salty mineral finish. Served with spicy poblano corn chowder it paired well. Purchased as direct import upon release, stored accordingly and enjoyed 40-50. As the acidity on the finish is not softening, you may want to drink these over the next few years before the wine becomes out of balance. ... Na zdrowie

July 11, 2020 - Back in 1999 Terry Theise gave me a bottle of 1990 Strub Niersteiner Bruckchen Riesling Spatlese. That wine introduced me to one of the greatest value producers in Germany, but also to a really interesting vineyard, that stands stylistically apart from the more iron rich red slope sites nearby.
This particular bottle sits at a late apogee of the monster Kabinett era, and as such was a fine match for a spicy Thai curry. Rich peach fruit dressed with salted lime juice dominates until a chalky minerality and bracing acidity come in the finish. It’s luscious and yummy, but be prepared for something that drinks like a ripe, sweet Spätlese. Based on this showing I have no concern for keeping other bottles for years to come. -

August 15, 2014 - A tasting of Rieslings, Sauvignon Blancs, and other random whites. (Northport): Green apple, lime pith; sugar on the attack, but quickly fades to the very high acids. Finish is medium-long and quite sour, of green apple. Some floral and mineral notes, but mostly this is about green fruit. Very nice value.

May 13, 2014 - Good stuff. Fresh, tart pear and green apple fruit up front, turning more chalky and stony on the back end, and finishing with barely any sense of sweetness as the bracing acids balance whatever residual sugar's here. This has a sense of lightness and refreshment that I'd expect from classic Kabinett, and it's a great value.
