Wow, this has really slimmed down nicely with a bit of bottle age; showing more verve than a couple of years ago this was refreshing, vibrant and really on form. I tend to find the basic Leitz bottling a bit flabby on release, but they never fail to deliver the goods after a few years of sleep. Excellent Riesling.

From night 2 : sweeter than most kabs, but delicious nonetheless; canned pears and peaches, along with notes of honey and vanilla, dominate nose and palate; just enough acid to pull it off . . .barely. Definitely bordering on fruit cocktail, but went very well with simple grilled scallops and swordfish.

Light straw color and a little ripe stone fruit and sweet citrus notes with minerals on the nose. Easy entry and a nice fruit balance of fruit and acidity that was more in tune than the last visit. Clean and crisp with a medium finish.

Balanced, crisp, nice kabinett style. More complex and well-delineated than the 2007 (opened alongside) which seemed a bit blurry in comparison. Good value.

Another excellent bottle of this wine. Crisp, vibrant, mineral. Everything I'm looking for in a kabinett.
