Mosel, Germany
Thicker than 2021, but just as lifted. A Kabinett of light and air, with enough density to carry you. The acidity was joy itself. The mouthfeel was silk in motion. There's something about the 2023s, they have more breadth, more echo. Like the 21s got stretched sideways in all the right ways.
I didn't take notes. I just sat there. And felt better after a brutal day. Because sometimes, at the end of a brutal day, all you need is a Steinmetz Kabinett to remind you that life still has sweetness.

Nose is so classic. Huge minerals and a dash of honey, melon, wild mint, apricot and peach. Unreal crushed rock minerality. Huge herbals and smells like the best garden ever. Oh wow what a palate. So caressing and engaging with warm hug acidity and that pulverized rock minerality, honey, peaches and awesome purity, energy and balance. So clean and so utterly classic. Stunning. Lovely honeyed element on the finish.
