This was an understated stunner that satisfied my geeky palate and pleased my non-geek family members. Sure, it's shut down and its best days are in the future, but it was impossible not to love what this kabinett had to offer. Violets, bergamot, gentle citrus fruits on the nose gave way to a delicately sweet palate with white/yellow fruits and some stoniness before a finish that grew creamier over time. This was delicious and haunting and I can't get it out of my head.

Needs air; reviewing the last glass five hours after opening. Terrific stony minerality, cool fresh green apple and lime sorts of fruit, with a touch of custardy richness. Complex, with quite an array of notes from stony depth to delicate floral highlights. Just off dry. Tense, young, but delicious; quite promising.

expectedly round for 2020, but quite open today for a Schaefer given a vigorous decant=great chance for an early peek. delicious with lots of salt and intrigue to the ripe fruit.

Light on its feet, great balance of fruit and acidity, wonderful pairing with Chinese food.
