Stupid great. So delicious. The palate is like Mosel sweet ice. Incredible green apple, melon and lime and huge acid and depth but so clean and nimble. A whisper that yells. Finishes savory and slatey. Nose is melon, apple, slate and some lime zest. But the palate is the showstopper. Just in an awesome place. — 8 days ago

An excellent Riesling, I personally did not find it overwhelmingly acidic. Very nice — 2 months ago

First time with this bottling and I have deep regrets about buying only four bottles. The acidity is extreme. It swallows the residual sugar, leaving just a hint of sweetness, though the sugar makes the fruit burst on the palate and gives the wine density. Shockingly concentrated and intense with salty, mineral depth and a very long finish. This is closer to a generous Grosses Gewachs than my conception of a Kabinett. Thrilling wine! @Lyle Fass is this typical or an anomaly of the vintage? More importantly, do you have anything like this to sell me? — 5 months ago

Last had this July 2023 and it was noticeably improved: soaring aromas of beautiful delineated peach & apricot, powdered sugar, lemon meringue and lime cream. Just epic nose, smooth & silky on palate, still vibrant acidic backbone and sumptuous orchard fruit, orange blossom & all soaked in honey. Wowza - our guests were astonished… — 2 months ago
