(Zilliken Saarburger Rausch Kabinett) What a wine and what an excellent example of classic Kabinett. And this was Kabinett and not Spatlese GK dressed up in Kabinett clothes. Beautiful nose of cooling minerals, lime blossom, fresh cut grass, moss and slate. Palate was piquant with wonderful mouthwatering acidity and green apple fruit with some sweet lime. The wine kept opening and gaining in more depth as the night went on. The last sip was the best with zesty fruit, crackling acidity and mucho depth. This was also a baby and ha at least 10-15 more years ahead of it.
(Zilliken Saarburger Rausch Kabinett) This was either completely closed or getting to that over the hill point. Really just not giving much except lime blossom on the nose and some steely minerality on the palate. I hope it's closed as I have two in the cellar.
