Pleasantly sweet, not overly so — 7 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. — 4 years ago
Lemons and pears, on the subtle side. — a month ago
Attractive at first, with peach, melon and an unusual Scheurebe-like exotic quality, but increasingly broad and blousey with air. Slightly off-dry in impression, simple through the mid-palate and lacking the mineral precision, tension and complexity I look for in Piesporter Riesling. Started better than it finished. — 2 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). — 4 years ago

Crazy long finish, full-palate flavor density, rounded and weighty but not heavy. — 2 months ago
Off-dry style but still full of finesse and focus. Green apple, steely and mineral. Gunflint rather than petrol nose. Smooth finish and round mouthfeel. — 5 months ago

Pale green-tinged yellow; slightly reduced nose of white fruits, lime and stoney minerality; elegant, almost creamy texture with white fruits, zesty lime-tinged acidity and only a touch of sweetness, plus a very persistent saline finish. AP 02 22 — 2 days ago
