AP #3 (Palm) Tasted on day two of being open. This was tight as expected, but there was also a lot of ripe citrus. The acidity was more dry than zippy, but it was fairly balanced with the rest of the wine - almost like a kabinett without the greenness. Give it another 3-5 years before drinking.

Wow. My first Falkenstein and I can see what the fuss is about. Positively crunchy lime acidity perfectly balanced by sweetness. Can't imagine anything more refreshing.

Peach, stonefruit, honey suckle, some lychee and mineral. Very light color. Taut and lean, but with great depth and expression. Great acidity in the finish which keeps it all fresh. Really wonderful.

Refreshing, but a bit too sweet and much too young. Cracking acidity like a Kabinett. 89-90

I love the ripeness of this wine combined with the weight and RS. HF really did wonders in 2018.

Less expressive on the nose, but more intense than 2018 Euchariusberg Kabinett tasted alongside. Fresh, lovely acidity, mineral, long. 92-93+
