Absolutely delicious Mosel Riesling here that feature the wet slate and mineral notes that really define the region for me. Some honey and peach on the nose as well, but inside it is a well balanced and concentrated amount of citrus and pear. A touch of sweetness, but beautifully weighed with the justice scales of acid. — 10 months ago
Citrus, minerality. Great acidity that balances the RS. Delicious. — 4 months ago
Smooth red apple, a** kicking tropical acidity and a solid minerality! Everything happens at the same time, but never too much. Lighthearted summer-juice or uplifting november-fix: it works! — 5 months ago
Tasted like a Mosel GG. There’s probably some intellectual implication in this statement, but I reckon that best be shared once I’ve had KP’s rendition of this vineyard. The wine comes from one of KP’s parcel in Florsheim that’s farmed and vinified by Julian in Piesport. The opening statement probably roots from the extreme tartness and overall structure of the wine, but I wouldn’t discount the inherent biases of not tasting blind. Opened with an insane nose of ripe stone fruits, pears, white flowers, herbs, camphor, and a very interesting pastry-lke character. Concentrated, long, very tart, and chalky on the palate. It will undoubtedly improve in the cellar, but was already such a joy to drink at this stage. I absolutely adored the wine, but it must be said that the feeling was likely amplified by the fact that it involves some of my favourite vintners in the world - Julian and KP. — a year ago
Dry and mineral driven, with a very light, slightly green hue, and a slightly medium and oily look to the consistency, but not noticeable when you’re sipping. Big nose of tart citrus, leychee, wet stone and some gentle florals with grassy notes and a hint of lemon rind. Very fruit forward but also dry, with tropical notes of underripe pineapple, Meyer lemon, leading to a dry mineral finish. — 5 months ago
A somm-recommended bottle after being consulted on which vintage might be the most open of the Egon kabi’s, and right he was. The 16’ was singing! Very Egon with the notes cassis, salt/slate, and a touch of cream. Definitely sweeter and richer (less of a classic kabi) than the Haart Ohligsberg Alter Reben kabi, but still very energetic and quaffable. Plus, I can’t look pass how singular these wines are (see notes on the other mentioned wine on a little related rant). — a year ago
