Deep straw in color. Nose of golden apples, ripe peaches, tangerines, and a hint of mint reality. Taste of nectarines, peaches, apple cider, and lime stone. Had a synthetic cork but still Seems to have aged nicely. Lovely mouth feel and a nice richness. Great acidity and lovely balance of fruit and acids. Drink over the next 5 to 7 years.

Only a kabinett, but I am getting plenty of botrytis, waxy lemon, toned-down lime, texture, and depth in this mature riesling. Not a baby anymore to be sure, yet still has plenty of smack and zip to hold it all together. A great foil to lamb vindaloo, channa masala, & chicken madras.

PnP, then nursed over several hours. Drinking very well, though the balance continues to be skewed towards sweetness and just doesn't have the acid needed to be a truly remarkable wine. Still, a great bottle of 9yr old Kabinett.
We put the bottle in the fridge with a cork in it overnight and it was still tasty at lunch the next day. No hurry to crack these.

Pleasant fragrance with notes of peach, pineapple rind and white flowers. Flavor is a bit on the sweet side for a Kabinett, but this is nicely offset on the back end with a great tang. Long finish. Not a wine for great introspection, but super accompaniment to light Spring & Summer fare. Terrific QPR too at under $16.

10 weeks ago I said 'no hurry to crack these' but I couldn't resist. Delicious.
