    January 19, 2023 - Quite delicious, and even a decent value at the ~$29 paid. It just seemed to have that little “extra”.

    However, prices seem to have gone up and availability way down in the Pacific Northwest, if one can even find it at all. (The normal non-Kabinett Limestone can be found, and seems to be priced not too far off from where this Kabinett bottling was.)

    July 30, 2021 - Three and a half years since the previous bottle. Much the same as last time, but finds the wine more balanced. Somewhat closed nose with a bit tropical as the only thing I catch. Richer in the mouth. Markedly fresh and crunchy green apples. However, it dies out quickly. Mild clementine, slightly tropical, and tiny hints of peach and apricot. Nice and clean, but a bit boring and tame.

    March 13, 2021 - Lime and other citrus fruit, apple as well as faint hay and wet stone on the citrus-dominated nose. The slender palate adds more lime, some grapefruit and slight pineappleish tones as well as some lift. Some residual sweetness, but it is countered by the brisk mineral stony acidity. Long finish with acids, more citrus and a whiff of exotic fruit. Very drinkable and very Kabinett in style, and with that very addictive on-the-edge feeling between the fruit and the sharp acidity.

    August 23, 2020 - Consumed over 2 days. Quite pale in the glass with a little spritz on opening that dissipated fairly quickly. The nose is open, showing lime peel, nectarine, and cool river stones. Minimal petrol. At 9% it’s decidedly off dry, but with beautiful natural acidity that keeps it fresh and light on its feet.
