This has been open about a week, and I wasn't able to get a note on it until now - definitely lost a step or two. During that week I had a number of glasses and the wine seemed to bounce between a classic racy Kabinett and a somewhat dilute and sour Kabinett. Aromas of lime, lime pith, green and red apple, white flowers and slate. Crisp and light on the palate with lots of lime and apple, slate and spice. Maybe it's only lost 1/2 a step? Still some grip and lots of lime and slate on the finish. Good stuff. Nose - 5-5.5/6, Palate - 4.5-5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 = 15.5-16.5/20.

Lovely and in a better spot than a few years ago. A more savory fruit profile without any overt apple or stone fruit notes. Good acidity but no longer sharp. Slightly sweeter than expected.

Mineral nose - pure wet slate, green apple and white peach, lime and a hint of fresh herbs, without any sulphury oddities. Feather-light taste with low alcohol, brilliant acidity, pretty intense flavours, and perfectly understated sweetness (probably around, or just below, 30 g/l). The dry-ish balance finishes on the tingling acids, not on the sugar. Just lovely!

Everything I was looking for in a Riesling - light bodied, slate, some nice acidity and a little sweetness on the palate with refreshing finish. Drunk with a 2013 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr that was just a notch below this. Excellent.

Very tasty Kabinett, citrus, honeysuckle, petrol, slate on the nose. The palate is nicely balanced with a light feel, but plenty of flavor and punch. Good value
