Lovely bottle. Methinks it was a touch brighter/livelier a number of years ago. I don't have those notes easily available and it's got to be more than 7 years since I last had this. Last bottle for me. I'd recommend enjoying it in the next few years.

Still amazingly young with a bright acidity and a full fruit; this is lieblich in every sense of the word with the citrus-fruit playing games with the residual sugar. Will keep many years, but certainly a treat now, if you are not looking for pterol and the like.

Amazingly youthful. Hints of petrol in the aroma; yellow/ golden in colour. Rich fruit flavours of green apple and lime with hints of pear. Decent acidity. Seemed a bit richer and more concentrated than what I might normally expect from a Kabinett. A wonderful wine especially on a warm summer evening.

Light, golden color. The nose is classic Riesling with kerosene and apple highlights. The palate is packed with apple, pear, kerosene, lime, and lemon. There is excellent acidity to bolster the fruit and provide verve to this off dry wine. The finish is zippy with ample lime and apple. Overall, this wine has a good nose with quite a bit of depth on the palate and vibrant acidity.

Initially I thought I had waited too long to open this, but once it settled it drank beautifully.
