  Last week I opened up a trio of 2021 Kabinetts that just so happen to be some of my favorite bottlings, period. I wanted to not only see how they compared to each other, but also how they would each evolve over the following week.
  The first wine that I am sharing is the 2021 Weiser-Künstler Enkircher Ellergrub Kabinett
  After some initial Mosel funk on the nose, this really opened up to show itself as a hugely expressive and delicious young bottle. I was surprised by two things, one was how well this showed so early in its life as I feel that young wines from Weiser-Künstler are typically more reticent in their youth, and the second was how ‘large scale’ in the context of this group this wine felt. I definitely want to make clear that I am not saying this was a ‘large scale’ wine, it just was the biggest of these three. All three were racy and bright, but this was clearly a sign of seeing how the middle Mosel compares to a uniquely cool Mosel vineyard and finally one from the Saar.
  This was bursting with super tangy apples and tons of herbaceous notes. Chalky minerality saturated the palate in the long and lemon filled finish.
  After nearly a week, this wine seemed to find its focus with notes of sweet herbs, tangy orange and spicy ginger infused mineral water. There was an added level of freshness and purity that came with extended air time.
  It was amazing how the perception of a wine can change depending on the setting, mood, or context within a tasting.
  This is a beautiful wine, but I am in no rush to drink my other bottles.

  Some fizz at first open that dissipated quickly. Screaming acidity, concentrated fruit underneath, a bit like eating a sour lemon candy. It was good to drink this over several days as it evolved nicely. Electric on night one (along with some barely-there first-night funk), the acidity seemed more supported by the fruit flavors after a few days. Caught glimpses of things coming together, should do well with age.
  
  Very nice wine. Young and bracing, super concentrated.

  一开始还是比较多还原味，火药、硝石粉末还笼罩整体，只能窥见一点枣味、黄油桃、醋栗和苹果。慢慢在杯中会弥漫出一点幽幽的白花香。口感清透干净，口腔壁贴着一层光滑感，有着很丰沛浸润的咸鲜味和矿物感，酸度高，从前到后弥漫开来，压着甜度，集中度不错。青苹果、酸橘、葡萄柚、未熟红醋栗和油桃之类的香气，些许新鲜欧芹之类的香草，延伸得长。92/100
