  Leaking bottle with level 4.9cm below fully-saturated cork, but showing a fresh pale yellowish colour, which suggests this is still very early days. A nose that speaks of summer flowers, apple and pear. Blackcurrant leaf, too. Mouth is on the tight side, with white fruit and minerals dominating the modest sweetness. Intense, ripening blackcurrant-gooseberry acidity.
  
  Five days later, from a half, this is still showing very fresh on the nose and possessing a very energetic palate. Beautifully weighted, yet sleek. Concentrated and nuanced. Fine and up there with the 2007 version.

  Not many German wineries that I have not sampled over decades, but for some reason this one escaped me.
  Classic Kabernett, fuity apple and a little peach on the nose, nice mouthful of applegrapefruit /citrus, some minerality a nd saline in the mix, not overdone acid as so many are these days, good bottle, this class, Kabernett, produces so many bargain classics that one often does not need to spend more to get a top wine.

  This is starting to open up. Very pretty aromatics of lime, ripe pear, a touch of spices, there is also a saline mineral notes and some steel, overall beautiful aromatic balance of fruit and salty minerality. It‘s lighter+ bodied, with excellent mid-palate persistence and pretty high acidity. Nicely integrated and perfectly balanced sweetness. Long finish with lip-smacking freshness and mineral cut. A superb Kabinett from this great producer, top vineyard and old vines.

  Piquant orchard fruit, zesty citrus, and wonderful saline minerality that really shows it's sense of place. This will undoubtedly get better with more bottle age, but it irresistibly juicy and enjoyable now.
