More like a Spätlese but oh-so yummy. Yellow fruits, some more exotic hints (think pineapple and mango). You feel the hot year but the Apotheke is still a fine and balanced wine. Not sure it’ll be a super long-distance runner but this will easily last another 10 years while gaining extra complexity.

nice Kabinett with a playful sweet palate.developed to a more complex wine over 3 days.impressive how just 8 % alc can be so intense on the palate.top lenght.

The wine was pale lemon in color and cristal clear, on the nose it was quite light with primary aromas of slate(wet stones), flint, lime and grapefruit as well as a hint of blossom. On the palate it was of off-dry sweetness with a medium(+) acidity and low alcohol (being a Kabinett). The body was medium and the flavors where of medium(-) intensity being primary aromas of slate(wet stones), flint, lime and grapefruit as well as a hint of blossom. This wine was quite young in the development being of the 2018 vintage the wine had a medium(-) finish with was mineral driven. A exiting tasting of this area of the Mosel for sure!

A Very Fine Mosel Weekend; 7/3/2020-7/5/2020 (ICE train compartments, Mosel estates, restaurants and Straußwirtschaften): And this is Mosel at its best!
Featherlight, ultra classic, low ABV (8%), but this delicate intensity while swallowing, never stop before emptying the whole bottle......, 92, 93 in a decade or two!
