December 5, 2020 - A solid showing. Recently purchased.
Still rather sweet and many years ahead. Doesn’t have a cutting acidity and perhaps a touch simple but the sweetness could be masking both slightly. Nothing special but a very decent, very enjoyable sweet Kab.
July 16, 2020 - Green apple and lime on the nose. Quite sweet, but the zippy acidity keeps it tasting fresh. Still tastes very young. Hardly any of that petrol note that you would expect from a bottle this old. Goes down all too easily.

May 5, 2019 - Very nice kabinett riesling. Like many Dr. Loosen bottlings, this is fairly sweet with very low alcohol, 7.5%, in contrast to most quality rieslings which are more fully fermented. Not as minerally as the Wehlener Sonnenuhr, however in a similar style. Easy to like for those appreciate high quality yet prefer low alcohol wines.
March 31, 2018 - Absolutely beautiful. Drinking in early maturity. The quality of the acids is a hallmark of this wine. Spritz and zingy, they add lift and texture to the medium sweetness level and the clear and direct fruit. Bottle age character is adding dimension to the finish. Certainly outstanding. (with Moss, Ken, Madelene, and Justine)
November 30, 2015 - Crisp and loaded with fruit, slightly petrol minerality on the nose, good acidity, in short everything a good Kabinett should be. still years ahead of it in the cellar.
April 4, 2015 - Screwcap or Stelvin cap. 7.5% alcohol by volume. Imported by The Country Vintner, Ashland, VA. A.P. 2 576 162 27 10. Back label notes the steepness of the vineyard and iron-rich red slate soil.
Slight greenish tint to the pale gold color. Tiny bubbles on the surface when first poured (petillant or frizzante.) Some petrol. Stone fruit with pear in the lead but hints of peach also. Quite slurpable or gulpable. I had to resist drinking most of the bottle in one evening.
November 18, 2013 - At Kerala Dinner- Secret on Seven. Gold color. Floral, cavillon melon, white flowers, medium candy and sugar. Quite sweet and viscous. Too young. But ideal for South Indian food!
June 2, 2012 - On the nose apple and a hint of petrol. On the palate apple, a little petrol ending in minerals. Sweet, but not excessively, balanced with quite piercing acidity. I could quite happily quaff this all day without food!
March 25, 2012 - consistent with notes of 3/21/2012
March 21, 2012 - Enjoyed this quite a bit. Apple, quince and lime flavors - backed by lively acidity.
