  Really excellent - everything I want in a young kabinett. Would love to see this with a few more years of age.

  Amazing Kabinett and role model for 2021, had it together with a 2021 Hofgut Falkenstein Im Kleinschock. Both showing a superb acidity, both still open and perfectly drinkable. The Ludes outstanding based on a strong "stinker" from wild yeast fermentation offering the typical Ludes nose, bringing a lot of charme and personality to that wine, while the Falkenstein remain cool, cool and clean. Both enjoyable, but the Ludes bottle went empty much faster. 93+

  Ludes '21s landed in Detroit today so we opened six of them; I kept four.
  7.5% abv. AP 5. $31 SRP. NOSE: after the familiar apple peel, cassis, ginger, and broken stone, I sense almond meal. A background of nutritional yeast hosts starchy tropical fruit husks. MOUTH: razing acidity. Plump, white peach and plum fruit sugar. Gripping, perfumed chalk helps organize the finish. Intensely good.
  TIME: 24 hours resealed in the fridge has rinsed away most of the residual fermenter fat, leaving it an incrementally more proper and pristine object.

  PnP. Very light color. Lime leaf, sweeter citrus fruit, some white peach and apricot, underlying stone and mineral notes. Moderate sweetness, but really great balancing acidity. Fresh, bright, lively. There's great fruit concentration but with a really lively, vibrant acid backbone. Great minerality in the finish. I love the balance in this. Drinking well now, but this is got a long way to go. Really classic kabinett.

  4/7/23 Riesling Tasting (Vinum): Drank alongside of a total 18 Rieslings, starting from dry to sweet.
  
  No detailed notes as I had forgotten to write any here. I just recalled this being fairly similar to the Ludes Monster, but with a stronger aroma of minerality, which would definitely reflect the bottling name.
