September 5, 2022 - No formal note, this is beginning to show the positive side of an aging riesling, with a petrol nose beginning to develop. More off dry than anything else, it has a nice balance of acidity and fruit.
May 20, 2022 - 2015 Kabinett tasting (NYC): My 7, group 1. Crazy nose, a bit of spritz and apple, good acidity.
July 4, 2021 - The nose was immediately arresting with white peaches and a touch of citrus and some pears. Excellent balance and energy, loved the interplay of acid and touches of sweetness. On the palate lots of minerality with a creamy mouthfeel. Real classic Kabinett sweetness and structure here, just what I want in a Kabinett. Already very good, with excellent potential for further development.
December 14, 2018 - Time for another Keller review. I'm still so amazed this producer and this Kabinett just hits the sweetspot on my palate. Food friendly wine and not overly sweet, but still with enough sweetness to notice and stand out. This is not a particular complex wine but every nuance of this wine just sits right. No "funky surprises" on the nose, the palate or even on the finish - it just stays exactly where you want it from start to finish. Pear, green apples and a little hint of honey melon and salt
November 4, 2018 - Consistent with previous note, excellent.
April 20, 2018 - Lots of stones and minerality in this kabinett from Keller. Citrus and pears but far from the lollipop sweetness you sometimes can find in young Rieslings. White flowers and elder notes. Good acidity backbone. Very young and still a bit all over the place, although in a very settled and reserved way. Lovely mouthfeel with perfect amount of sweetness lingering on the tip of the tongue. Like this a lot and got super potential.
December 26, 2017 - By night 2 this was (relatively) open, excellent balance.
November 26, 2017 - Sparkling!,
reduction on the nose, some yellow fruit notes, but muted
Palate: lime, peach, minerals/stone, waves of acid, sweet sherbet
Creamy long finish
Complex
October 20, 2017 - Such a charmer. If you're having southeast asian or any food with sweetness and chili heat this what you are drinking.
September 18, 2017 - A little grumpy, a little spritzy, a bit shutdown. But was still popular at the table and there's a ton of extract and material in there. Opened a bit more on night 2 and 3 but needs time.
