Love me some good Kabinett, and this is good Kabinett. Minerally, bright, some nice pucker from the acidity. Merkelbach = QPR and this was a winner. Fresh, very clear in the glass. Served with a Thai-inspired dish and that worked. Enjoyable, high toned, clean. Good now but can also hold longer.

I break with the pack here, as the price point is irrelevant. This wine has taken on greater complexity now, and while it will never be a great Zilliken or Prum, it stands shoulder to shoulder with many of the very nice 2011 kabinetten. Only a tiny bit sweet, it has rich fruit and petrol sensations and a mild orange/ apricot, vague floral character. Perfect for warm weather and with lighter fish.

Improved from last bottle opened in 2012. Mineral , flowers, yellow fruits, balanced between sweetness and acidity. Great Q/P

Nice for the price. On the sweeter side for a Kabinett but still has nice balance. Enjoyable.

At $14, not a bad value but also not memorable.

The considerable sweetness (especially for a Kabinett) needs more acid to match it.
