  lots of pear on the nose. palatte, a bit of bitterness, maybe bad lot?. some fizz also. plenty of fruit, sweetness balanced by acid. not sure if age will help given "fizz" and bittnerness.

  Perhaps an off-bottle this seemed a little "too" advanced for '06 with a bright yellow, pushing golden color and rather closed aromatics. Citrus and stonefruit flavors on the palate with good balance of sweetness and acidity.

  Not as elegant or deep as the Kabinett from this year, but still showing very well. A touch sweet, but nicely textured with fine notes of orange blossoms and spice.
