Fruit full bodied yet now overpowered by the later harvest natural sweetness. Off Dry. Just don’t know what more you could ask for. I find it the most perfect pairing with boiled crab. Can’t see how I will keep the last 3 very long. Maybe I should lose one at the bottom of one of my wine storage fridges.

This is an absolute stunner! Has that "kissing aspect" of sweet Mosel wines that is to live for... And citrus, white flowers, tiny petrokem and a beautiful mineral component on the nose.
On the palate, this wine has a shockingly straightforward attack that made me cough after the first sip. This is superbly concentrated, deep, rich, layered, complex and a wee bit towards its maturity and plateau. Tastes include: Riesling, mikan and other citrus as well as that wonderful smell of laundry that dried outside.
Has the acidity of a Muscadet but embodies the grace of a kung fu master. Excellent composure and rocks my world at 7%.
Fantastic wine. Great nose of white fruits. In the mouth leads with an off dry edge from the typical Mosel slate follows with a full central core of fruit with a medium length. Just love the type of Mosel with low alcohol 7.5%. I may even be rating this a point or two low.

The nose, which displays that white fruit cocktail note, would lead you to believe that the wine would show some fairly distinct sweet notes on the palate. Not the case, as brisk acidity keeps the underlying sweetness in check. Not bad.

Really enjoyed this riesling. Citrus, orange, peach nose. Mineral, dusty, tropical fruits, citrus. Fantastic bottle-- perfect sweetness. Terrific start to Thanksgiving. Enjoyed by all that drank it.

Good solid Kabinett. Crisp green apples. Lots of tartness. Not quite as vibrant as the great 2015s that have now been released, but still quite enjoyable.

Nose: felt older than '14. Had a bit of a funk/popcorn nose. as it opened up, peach, apricot and lemon arrived. Palate was nicely balanced but a bit shorter than I expected.

Wonderful delightful Sunday morning breakfast wine. Light golden colour. Fresh and fruity nose with a slight lovely stinker. Fruits are peach, a bit of lemon and apple. Velvet and juicy mouth feeling comes up, then kind of crispy sensations follow. The fruits come out nicely. The wine rounds up with a long grapefruit aftertaste. Wonderful 7.5% alc typical Kabinett style - love it!

The nose was rich and intense with ripe peach, minerals and gravel dust. On the palate, it was vibrant with gorgeous ripe tropical fruits, spiced apple and smoke. It finished long on tart citrus and juicy acidity, providing a very pleasurable finale.

Floral, expressive notes of stone fruit and green apples. On the palate zingy, fresh and bright. Fine minerality, good fruit and length. Very good. 91-92+

Enjoyed this bottle a lot. Quite a bit of fruit, electric acidity, and not overly sweet. Smells great, too.
