Julian Haart
Schubertslay Kabinett Riesling
Mosel, Germany
The nose showed intense minerality with crushed stone, lime, and sweet florals. On the palate, I found soft textures with peach, apple and hints of lemon, sweet inner florals and refreshing acidity. It finished clean with lasting ripe peach and hints of citrus rind.

I think it's apt for me to compare this to Daniel's 14' Wolfer Goldgrube Kabi I had a few days ago: It's lighter; ethereal. Less ripe; on the grapefruit spectrum. Doesn't really feature that power with restraint element I saw in Daniel's Kabi; perhaps a function of vintage. As racy and precise. Similarly mineral, although Julian's wine leans on the fruitier side; bottle age difference perhaps. Sulphur applied with more constraint in Julian's wine. Spicier; feature I notice in some of Julian's cuvees.
Overall, a stunning Kabi. Just the way I like it! Without a doubt, one that will improve with age.

Silverpolish and fruity nose. Great sweetness integration, but not overpowering taste, and fairly light taste.
