July 28, 2023 - Green-gold in the glass. Grassy, ripe nose of cantaloup melon, apricot and a touch of plastic. Very round and sweet on the attack with marmalade, honey and sweet apricot but with a fine balanced citrusy acidity which keeps the freshness running through. Lovely, light, relatively simple Kabinett which at 16 years old seems absolutely ageless. 90-91
May 26, 2022 - Quite sweet, still. Young profile
September 22, 2020 - this was surprisingly sweet for a kabinett and could do with a bit more acidity and complexity
December 29, 2019 - Yellow gold colored. Primary smells of apple and apricot with a bit of petrol/diesel. Tastes of apple and apricot. Acidity is well-balanced by the slight sweetness.
October 19, 2018 - Similar notes to last bottle. Lovely intensity and balance with lots of apricot notes and more viscous texture than usually found in a kabinett. Nice now, but will last a long time (A-).
January 3, 2017 - Fritz Haag, not many do it better in Mosel. Apples and honey, stunning acidity perfectly balanced by a comfortable "kabinett-sweetness". Some years in the cellar has done wonders for this wine.
December 25, 2016 - Stunning energy, fresh apple toned riesling. Thrilling.
January 26, 2016 - Great way to finish a night after a Volney and a monster Russeaud, light sweetness and touch, great after meal wine
July 4, 2015 - Green hues, ripe, sweet, good crunch but lower acidity, a bit too easy going for me.
November 12, 2014 - Excellent Kabinett. Sweet and acid very well balanced. Based upon earlier TNs, I think some of the sweetness has subsided. No reason to rush to drink this, although I am not certain how much better it will get. I have a few more, and I look forward to drinking them over the next 5 years or so.
