  Compared with Zilliken Rausch Kabinett 2011. More body, melon. Seems complexer, but I like the clean, crisp, mineral Zilliken better.

  Wow! Bottle #3 of 12. Consistent with previous note. Pure as rainwater, with superb acidity and cut, with a super long verbena laden finish. This is a bomb Kabinett. Just starting its run, this will last for 20 years, though I wouldn't want to miss this phase. Brilliant.

  Bottle #2 of 12. Still excruciatingly primary. Wow. One of the best Kabinetts I've ever experienced. Hugely complex and super refined nose - verbena, lemongrass, green tea, lemon, lime. All things citrus, white, yellow, green, floral and sweet. Waxy, slippery, silky, dense and etheric all at the same time on the palate. Deft - in every way. Just a fantastic, mind-blowingly scrumptious bottle of wine. The last sips in the glass after two hours started to show deeper white fruits and a smoky almost tropical flower sweet fragrance and attack, followed by a perfectly balanced and saline dry finish. Unbelievably great Kabinett in the making. 93pts pure quality, 95pts personal preference.

  Color: Pale straw.
  
  Nose: Electric---you can immediately smell the tension between tart lemony acid and honeyed peach sweetness. There's also a strong spine of rocky mineral and a faint dusty/leathery/earth character. No petrol or sponti notes to speak of. Fresh, pure, and clean.
  
  Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, lively and with some extract.
  
  Palate: Pretty much exactly what the nose foretold. Absolutely delicious, with a pure honeyed sweetness perfectly balanced against the fierce lemon-lime acidic structure. Vibrates with energy. The finish is long and lipsmacking, extending the sweet-acid combo long after you swallow. This is where the mineral comes through as well, adding a subtle savory dimension to the afterglow.
  
  What a delightful bottle of wine. Energetic, balanced, nuanced, and most of all insanely delicious. Tremendous value. Great labels these guys have, too.
