#kabinett #riesling - Classic petrol, rubber notes layered on top of apricot jam, honeyed apple, pear, subtle white flowers. Luscious mixture of acidity and sweetness on palate - paired appealingly with mild Indian food. — 4 years ago

#Keller #Riesling #Kabinett "#Hipping" (#Auction)--as Klaus Peter poured me this remarkable wine, he said, "This is Maria's wine!" I believe him... what a treasure to mark the birth of your daughter! Sourced from red clay soils on the slopes of #Nierstein overlooking the #Rhein... extremely opulent, explosive aromas, packed with power, but also such finesse... reminiscent of a lovely Mosel Riesling. The balance is uncanny... so elegant, gossamer, the essence of spring. Like a beautiful Monarch butterfly!

The #German #dry wine industry has learned a lot in the past two decades and one aspect is how to deal with #Rieslings innately high acidity. #1997 was a very fine year throughout the various regions, but this is drying out and was clearly not intended for long-term aging in excess of 10 years.
It made a decent partner to food, but not as a straight sipping wine. A modest amount of residual sugar would have created a more balanced wine. #LangwerthvonSimmern #RauenthalerRothenberg #Riesling #Kabinett #Rheingau — 10 years ago

Kick-Ass Kabinett! #2004 was an epic year for #Riesling in #Germany and this bottle has only moved a matter of miles from its original birthplace. Freshness is the hallmark of this incredibly clean, fleshy #Rheingau. Lovely balance that will certainly take it out another decade or more! #prinz #Kabinett #rieslingrocks — 10 years ago

Let us not forget that this noble #Nahe estate also lays claim to the production of fantastic fruity wines too... Sourced entirely from the #Frühlingsplätzchen vineyard, it truly says "SPRING" with every sip... classic summertime easy-drinking #Riesling. PROST! #EmrichSchönleber #Monzingen #kabinett #2013 — 11 years ago

On first impression, the sweetness of a spätlese, but lighter weight of a #kabinett. A truly elegant wine, not lacking in fruit or length. Just effortless! #jbschäfer #2013 #pittermännchen — 11 years ago

Vintage 2011 - Give a kabinett 4 to 6 years and the wine looses its youthfull turbulence to develop a friendly roundness and harmony that's terrific! This wine has an excellent balance, nice acidity next to a comforting sweet touch. And only 7,5 degrees alcohol, why it's such an appropriate choice on a hot summerday. #mosel #ürzig #kabinett #riesling #loveit — 10 years ago

Here is what we mean by great #Rheingau #Riesling--timeless wines that, when well-balanced like this one, are capable of giving years of pleasurable drinking. #1991 was not exactly a banner year, and coming on the heels of the great 1990 vintage it was easily overshadowed. However, as in Burgundy, the quantities were small but the wines have turned put surprisingly well--PROST! #SchlossSchönborn #BergSchlossberg #Riesling #Kabinett — 10 years ago

A great old friend! Bright amber color but a refined delicacy that comes after nearly 30 years in bottle...classic #Rheingau that made for a perfect aperitif wine and at a mere €40 how can one claim?!?! #Riesling #Kabinett #KlosterEberbach #RauenthalGehrn #1988

Classic #Saar steeliness and clarity with delicate mineral notes and an almost gossamer mouthfeel to it... A wine to quaff and enjoy with all sorts of spicy foods... utterly refreshing! #Reinert #ritterpfad #riesling #kabinett #feinherb #2013 — 11 years ago

In many ways this was the wine of the night...a perfect expression of what truly great #German #Riesling is all about: fruit, acidity, ripeness, minerality all rolled into one...never mind that #PrincessCharlotte of England and I share the same birthday of May 2nd, but more importantly this is very serious wine to lay down for my daughter, Maria Katharina, who arrived a few months later! #Keller #Hipping #Riesling #Kabinett — 10 years ago

#Keller #Riesling #Kabinett "#Limestone"--if this was the only wine I tasted at Keller, I'd pronounce the vintage #2015 a great success! Gentle fruitiness and subtle sweetness... super mineral, floral, awesome acidity and overall balance... citrus notes... dances on the palette... incredibly attractive and it isn't even a marquee wine--OMG!!! #Rheinhessen — 10 years ago

Landgraf von Hessen is now known as Prinz von Hessen, but the estate is the same. Bone-dry, sleek and saline, it cries out for smoked salmon or even a soft cheese. Drink now. It won't improve. #LandgrafvonHessen #PrinzvonHessen #1989 #Riesling #Kabinett — 10 years ago

Situated adjacent the great "#DOCTOR" vineyard, this is classic middle #Mosel with all the trimmings: glorious fruit, refreshing acidity, low alcohol and perfect balance. What else can one ask for? #drhthanisch #badstube #Riesling #Kabinett #2014 #ClassicMosel — 10 years ago

Just an average Wednesday afternoon... The label is a little worse for wear, but this wine is a beauty! 11 years old with astounding acidity and fresh fruit that lasts. #2004 #Prinz #HallgartenJungfer #Riesling #Kabinett #Rheingau — 11 years ago

When the summer temperatures rise, you reach for the soft and less acidic #Bacchus; This fresh and aromatic #Franken hybrid gets some good characters from its parent Riesling, whilst keeping a simple sweetness. Easy day to day #Kabinett wine. — 11 years ago
