  March 4, 2024 - These Rieslings need age to transform.
  
  It has become more petrol on the nose and drying out on the palate.
  
  It has become very drinkable.

  December 1, 2021 - (Mostly) Spätlese dinner at Proxi (Chicago, IL): #04-06, 8% abv. Like my last note, this starts with a hint of sponti on the nose. It's a very stark contrast from the 2004 Egon auction Kabinett next to it; this is ripe and richly textured with more of a stone fruit character at the forefront. Certainly there is minerality behind this, but it's the sweet fruit that dominates this bottle. This bottle would probably have been better served in isolation from the Egon, especially given the stark stylistic/vintage differences, but it's also very fascinating to see such a different side of Kabinett.

  July 27, 2021 - I just had a glass of the '02 WS Kabinett, and this is clearly a bigger wine. Sweet fruit cocktail on the nose, and expansive on the palate. I like this a lot - my only complaint might be a relative lack of acidity (and that is probably more noticeable after having had the glass of the '02).
  
  At dinner, I will check this out with the food first to see how it shows before as opposed to after the '02.

  February 26, 2021 - PnP. Highly enjoyable, still rather fresh and crisp, with good sense of place and variety, as expected. I think it's in a great place now and the next 5 years, at least. So much enjoyment for what was then a very modest tariff. highly recommended
