March 31, 2020 - Fifth bottle from a six bottle lot purchased at the estate in 2006. Decanted for two hours. This is really singing today. Intense but youthful appearance, white gold with green reflections; complex and layered nose, youthful yet beautifully evolved, lemon curd and unripe mango, flowers and earth, hints of seal wax and smoke; firm but ripe acidity on the off-dry palate, silky texture with gentle bitters, intense flavours of lime zest, bergamot and grapefruit, very elegant weight (10% ABV); complete finish, excellent length. At peak but no end in sight.

February 28, 2019 - This has either improved with age or has been underscored. It is a tour de force for a balanced kabinett with bucket loads of complexity. Drank it with sushi it was a match made in heaven. Bravo !

April 27, 2014 - Darkish yellow hues appear to be seen now. Nice, luring nose of white fruits with some floral notes, no petrol whatsoever. Mildly sweet on the palate, some apricots and peach, chill it well. (B-)

January 4, 2013 - Good fruit of green apple, citrus and peach; pure and clean, has lost some of its (initially quite considerable) sweetness over the past seven years and is starting to show some minerality (particularly on the second day); 2005 is a warm year and acidity and tension are relatively low - chill well; good length.

8/12/2007 (link)(Robert Weil Estate Kabinett) Nice elegant and floral nose. You can smell the depth. Ripe and juicy with wonderful inner mouth aromas and intense flavors of orange blossom. Very creamy texture with hints of sour strawberry on the finish. Even hints of red fruit like cassis.
