Drank with family as part of my son's birthday celebration. Wasn't able to take detailed notes, but this wine evaporated from everyone's glasses faster than they could believe. Absolutely delicious with an incredible balance between intensity and lightness. Orchard fruits on layers on minerality and great verve.

Final bottle from a three-bottle lot from the Dutch importer in 2020. Electric acidity (really remarkable for a 2018) buffers the sweetness, complex and perfectly typical flavours of citrus and green apple skin, peaches and cream, cassis leaf and strawberry, light on its feet but with huge energy, playful and minerally, impeccable precision, complete finish has outstanding persistence. Great Kabinett.

First day the nose has quite some petroleum, third day the nose is all honey, the petroleum is going quite yellow, date I say kerosene.
First day the palate is lively, handeled a pannang curry really well. A bit qliche but the heat and sweetness of the dish was intesified greatly by the wine, felt risky but landed well. Intens balance of sweetness and acidity. Third day more mellow, honey melon, yellow apple, apple jam.

PnP, then drunk over dinner. Easy and highly enjoyable to drink, but not simple. A little leftover was drunk the day after and showed notes of pear, both on the nose as well as on the palate, which also had a liqueur-like quality, in a positive sense, and probably due to the vintage.

A private dinner with friends (at home): Second bottle from a three bottle lot. Not much development to report since my previous tasting note from August 2020, still completely primary. Quintessential young Mittelmosel Kabinett of great energy, already with a complex aromatic expression (if you can look past the still present sponti aromas on the nose), the lip-licking acidity and the sweet strawberry on the very persistent finish noted in particular this time. This defines finesse for this style of wine. Delicious now, long life.

Dette må være en av de beste Kabinettene fra Mosel i 2018. Så utrolig ren nese. Sjarmerende fra topp til tå med en glassklar ferskenfrukt. Vektløs i munn med behagelig sødme og en elektrisk syre som balanserer. Drikker bra nå, men blir nok fantastisk med 3-5 år til på langs.

Utsøkt nese. Transparent og krystallklar frukt av pærer, fersken og regnvær. Sammensatt i munn; sødmefull frukt og pent integrert syre. God kons og lengde.

First introduced to these wines in Kehl, they still haunt me to this day. In my book, they're at the top of the lot given the exceptional balance, superior structure, and what's become a new definition of middle Mosel elegance for my tastes. This is no exception, and is clearly giving me a lot, but at the same time asking me to be more patient. highly recommended

AP 04 19. Yes, yes, yes, this is what young Moselle Kabinett is all about. Straight as an arrow, intensity without weight, an essence of Riesling on slate, bright acidity in spite of the hot vintage, citrus zest and peach but also herby notes, bursting with minerally energy, residual sugar almost hidden, excellent persistence. This will last for two to three decades and it will be a wonderful drink during its entire life.

The nose starts with sponti notes which stay up to the second day - they're gone by the third. Ripe fruit, but also subtler expressions of it, towards citrus. Herbs too, mint. Elegant and subtle, despite the warm vintage and the ripe fruit. It starts barely sweet, on citrus fruit, then the mineral character takes over and stays till the long finish, playing with grapefruit and lemon sorbet notes. Beautiful

[04 19] Vibrant and lively with notes of ripe fruit, minerality, piercing acidity. Very fine length. Impressive. 92-93+
