Deep and ripe nose that is totally giving me Corton Charlemagne vibes. Ripe apple, melon, cantaloupe and pear. Gorgeous in its purity. Man this is like white burgundy mimicry. Gorgeous spicey notes and complex smokey tones and amazing mineral notes. Such an enveloping and evocative nose. Palate is so awesome. Rich and textured and so deep and this has those German iodine and hazelnut notes that make you think your in Corton Charlemagne. Ripe and unctuous and so forward and unreal marzipan notes on the mid and finish. Wow does this really hammer you on the finish and not let up. Remarkable elegance and large scaled but nimble. As this airs it gains remarkable aromatic complexity with pulverized stones and barely ripe tropical fruits. So complex. Rich yet tense is the biography of this wine. One of the best 18’s I’ve had from Germany. — 7 days ago

Not shy about being off dry. One of my go-tos for this style. Always exquisitely balanced, zippy and pristine. — 2 months ago

Stunning. Nose has a little yeasty note over crushed slate and pure apricot/apple fruit. Absolutely full of life in the mouth, with zesty pure home-canned peach fruit (my mom used to do this, so I know) over some apple and slate. Such a lively mouthfeel. Beautifully pure finish. — 2 months ago

2022. Limey citrus with a little more sweetness and acidity than the trocken Riesling we had with dinner last night. This Kabinett paired even better with the leftovers for lunch! — 2 days ago

Gorgeous green-flecked color. Nose has deep lemon-lime and apple fruit and tons of clean slatey minerals. Deep on the palate, with crisp, mouthwatering fruit competing with stony minerals. Persistent acids propelling it along. At 8 years old still seem very youthful — 2 months ago
