Oh my goodness this is good. Unlike many others in this vintage suffering from premix this is bright and fresh and really hasn’t budged an inch since purchase. I will revisit in 5-10 or else I will drink the rest before it’s prime. A remarkable wine with just there right balance between acid and sweetness. Wow.

Another excellent bottle. Amazing how fresh this still is. It has hardly evolved at all. Great acidity, apple and apricot, long finish. Wish I had more than one bottle left.

UNP. Still extremely youthful with dense acidity and RS. Still shows great balance between these and lengthy finish. Blind would have guessed at least spat if not auslese because of the density. Looking forward to watching this evolve.

UNP (unscrewed n poured). Color straw. Was spritzy so decanted aggressively. First night mostly racy acidity. After 3 nights in fridge nose shows candied fruit - I get mostly pineapple and pear with rosemary and a hint of smoky toast. Swishing shows sweet tart flavor....huge acidity matched perfectly with RS and rich fruit - would never have guessed this is a kabinett. This is really superb. Probably as bright and youthful as the day it was bottled due to the screw cap

Theise/Skurnik DI tasting. There's a lot of extract and sweetness here, plenty of ripe white fruited flavours and minerality but it feels just barely sweet with really intense acidity cutting through. Very good, but I'd want something with some fat served alongside.
