November 24, 2023 - Drank with thanksgiving dinner yesterday. Quite gold in color, some petrol on the nose. Sweeter, richer and riper than I expected of a kabinett. Notes of honey are predominant. Long finish.

August 6, 2022 - A Fantastic Thai Meal with Some Cracking Wines (San Francisco): Medium yellow. Light weight. Moderate residual sugar for a Kabinett. Crisp yellow apple fruit with good acidity for the year but not a ton of stone. Very good.

July 8, 2018 - AP 14. 8% alcohol. Slightly amber color. Nose is rich and succulent with grassy acidity. On the palate, this is sweeter and richer than a typical Kabinett, but the intensity of the attack fades quickly. The mid-palate shows a grassy note that first appeared in the nose, a good balance to its sweet weight. Mature now, and will hold but not forever.

7/3/2007 (link)(Zilliken Saarburger Rausch Kabinett) Zilliken nailed it in 2005 and this was just one of the brightest, purest expression of Saar Kabinett in the vintage. This was a true Kabinett too although it was probably sweeter "by the numbers" due to the high level of acidity. Lime blossom, apple and loads of mineral on the nose. Dazzlingy pure and expressive. More than it has ever been. Palate was closed at first but opened up with some aggresive swirling. Flavors of zippy lime, peach and some nice watermelon tones. Beautiful cleansing acidity and a long finish. The archtecture of this wine was straight lines, solid taut angles and all stainless steel. Very Saar. Loved it. The alchohol was 8%.
