  Solid kabinet reisling. pretty nose apple, lemon, small amount of petrol. Nice acidity, off dry on the palet, again Apple some petrol mineral notes. Easy drinking. This was a solid weeknight riesling.

  Cork was spongy but wine seemed unaffected. Definitely more off-dry than sweet. Paired well with lightly Asian spiced grilled yellowtail. Apple, pineapple, fresh but lacking minerality. Day 2 some honey and lemon peel notes. Good acidity balance on both days. Better options at the QPR imo. In the end I felt it would have been a more developed wine if made fully dry, but maybe I'm just not a fan of the style. (Or too young?)

  The 2018 Markus Molitor Ürziger Würzgarten Kabinett (Goldkapsel) is just lots of fun: Molitor Kabinett Rieslings are amongst my favourites, and the Ürziger Würzgarten in particular is one of my goto Mosel vineyards. The clue is in the name: Wines from the "spice garden" benefit from the red volcanic stones that can be found here, revealing delicate spices that go well with the freshness of German Riesling and the sweetness of a Kabinett. Although Molitor bottled this wine as a "Goldkapsel" Riesling, I'd say the wine is more off-dry than full-on sweet. Very fresh on perfectly integrated acidity, minerality, fragrant herbs and sweet yellow fruits. Don't mistake this for a dessert wine. It will pair well with grilled fish dishes, cheeses, slightly spicy Asian food or even a grilled steak. Yummy! Enjoyable now, but promises even greater drinking pleasure in the next 10 to 20 years. Rated 93+.

  Very easy to drink now. Loads of fresh apple juice, citrus, and slate, a bit of smoky latex on the stony finish. Medium body, off-dry and bright.
  Well made and very enjoyable.
