  Nice young kabinett, showing high acid and bright punchy tropical fruits. but much more breadth than I would expect from a 21. Just a touch of complexity, and very quaffable.

  Petrol, yellow apple, white flower, some juniper berry. The palate was in great balance with a prickly acidity poking through the moderate sweetness level. Intense and long as well, with a finish of puckering acidity. Everything you could ask for in a ~$30 mosel kab, and will improve with years (and decades?) to come, drink now through 2035 however I don't have too much experience with older wines with this sweetness level but could see wines like this being truly ageless due to their RS, so obviously no rush. 91-92 points with potential.

  It is always a treat to open a bottle of Riesling from the uber talented Julian Haart. This was my first bottle of one of his 2021 Rieslings that I am opening from my cellar and I was not disappointed. This is probably the best vintage of the J.J. Kabinett that I have had.
  On the palate this was so fine, delicate, and pure with absolutely delicious tangy apples, a touch of spice and candied limes. The palate was elegant and irresistible.
  The beautiful nose showed orange blossoms and perfumed orchard fruit.
  This was one of those wines that seem to evaporate and are so easy to drink. There is so much there, if you can only slow yourself down enough to enjoy it all.
  This is making me really want to open some other 2021s from Julian, but I am trying my best to hide them away deep in the cellar.

  7.5% abv. AP 04. NOSE: crumbled stone; kinetic leavening. Pressed flowers. Brittle umami sponge. Then, emergent, sticky renderings of white orchard blossom. (Senf. Cassis.) MOUTH: Open, pale blooms scented shyly. Simple, weightless sweetness begins the event. Elastic filets of mandarin, melon, strawberry, and blackberry. Cellular surface tension, multiplied in rupture. Grey bedrock provides coolness. There's a voice of austerity in the chorus, too—clasped and acid. Dotted with virulent flowers. Right now I like drinking 2021 1,000L more, but I expect this has more upside after 2030. 92+
