  July 6, 2015 - Pool chlorine on the nose, slate, palate is rhubarb and... berry seeds?
  
  "This is what I love about German wine. A little bit of stone fruit, a little bit of acid, and it's all just slathered over a big sheet of slate." - Joseph
  
  After an hour: Julia gets honeydew and that's about it for the nose still; everyone finds it very closed
  
  "Hits that classic Kabinett spot. It does exactly what it seems like it should be doing." - Kate

  April 7, 2013 - some petrol, papaya with really bright, vivacious lemon. Rather deep and almost earthy for a riesling. Long, unctuous finish. This is no wallflower - prepare to be smacked upside the head with intensity.

  December 15, 2011 - Beautifully exotic nose that is definitely slick but not oily. Minerality shows through but acidity is fully integrated and only makes its appearance on the finish. Mid-palate is no longer expressing fruit overtly but this is pleasant!

  November 28, 2011 - Delightful, classically-proportioned Kabinett. Notes of lime zest, green apple, watermelon rind, spice, and flowers. Crisp, crunchy, zesty, energetic, and long. Complex and still quite tightly wound at age 3.
