  March 14, 2024 - Last had this two years ago, and it was very youthful. Last night it was very youthful. It's a rich, but not excessively sweet Kabinett, and there's ample underlying acidity. Served blind I might have guessed someone's Spatlese Feinherb. Beyond the structure/form, this needs several more years, as it still seems a bit closed. Lots of depth, but not translated into outward character. That's consistent with most of my 2012 experiences - the wines are evolving very slowly.

  March 30, 2023 - Tasted at the Travellers. Called the winery to get the RS and they refuse to publish it.
  Colour: med bright gold, clear.
  Nose: full, ripe, some petrol but good varietal notes above all.
  Taste: med body, rounded, good fruit if clearly off dry mid palate, long finish, ripe, good acidity and dry.
  Overall, classic Kabinett at 9.5% ABV with typical pedigree and went well with our lunch.

  October 14, 2022 - Starting to show a little bit of maturity with smoke and diesel. The fruit no longer has that youthfull, sweet pear-pop but is more along the lines of ripe apples, lemon and lime with hints of unripe green melon. Lots of minerals with chalk and sea-salt. Good lenght. On the dry side for a trad kabinett. Very nice, but think it will be even better with another 5-10 years of cellaring.

  September 25, 2022 - Youthful, supremely elegant, yet possessing boundless flavor, this Kabinett is a reminder of what the pradikat was, and sometimes can be. There’s a delicacy to each element, and it’s deftly composed. The fruit is crisp and fresh. There’s a salinity and a stoniness - a splash of waves on a jetty. The acidity, while never dominant, resonates on the finish, with just a whisper of creaminess betraying the fact that this is ten years old. Drink any time over the next twenty years.

  August 24, 2022 - Haven't had a '12 in a while so I figured I'd check in. This delivers on all the promise it had on release and yet remains very youthful. A great kabinett.
