Still in great shape. The nose still shows tropical fruit together with tertiary notes which reminded me of the white part of the orange shell, mixed with a light damp cellar note. The palate was fantastic with so much intensity and complexity of flavors and a still perceivable, light sweetness. Drinking wonderfully right now.

A good wine, and fresher and more primary than I expected. But the sweetness pokes out a bit still, and I'm not sure this has the overall richness it needs to carry it off. The acidity is good, but it's more a quick burst at the beginning than the kind supported by real structure. Drinking well now but I think at the end of the day the sweetness is going to outlive its rather modest structure.

(Fritz Haag Braunberger Juffer Kabinett) My notes just say "Wowsers! Best Kabinett of the Mosel so far." Just classic, transparent elegant Mosel Riesling. Perfect. I am buying a case.

Precise notes of lime, peach, mineral, honeysuckle and verbena. Low acidity.

Over dinner with friends, next to a 2013 Donnhoff Leistenberg Kabinett, and this one stealed the show. Consistent with my previous note.
