Beautiful, complex, old-fashioned Kabinett. light and airy, understated peachfruit, fabulous minerality and a typical earthy, gravelly, hearty soy-like complexity. Resolving residual sweetness and tiptoe-ing acidity provide exceptional balance and finesse. Alas, ultra-traditional wines like these are getting very rare. Last bottle from my stash... :(

A let down after the previous bottle of this blew me away. Surprised at how different this was. Muted, no verve. Maybe in a dumb phase or maybe a heat damaged bottle? Either way, was a bummer.

This is perfect kabinett. Great structure, intensity and acid. Nearly dry, this is well composed and a surprise. Bought this on a recommendation from a friend that likes this "old school" producer. Would buy more of this as it's excellent, age-worthy stuff.
