Lovely pithy fruits on the nose. Apricot, nectarine and stunning, wafting minerality. Palate is rich, Rheinhessen rich, but with bracing acidity and just such a generous texture. Showing so well cold and out of the gates. Let’s see what happens when it warms and gets air. Gorgeous wine and so generous with air. — 3 days ago

This needs a 45 minute decant. It’s rather simple on pop and pour.

Nose: powdered minerals. White flowers. Sweet lemon as it opens.

Palate: sweet fruit. Mineral. Bright acidity. Delicious. A bit straightforward but a great drink. Hmmm. Very nice depth. Sweet lemon. The missus says saline.

Hmm maybe the nose inches this to greatness. It’s really intense. Complex.

Last drank 4 mo ago; aromas on this bottle are more intense than my previous notes. Lots of sappy red fruit, dark rose, and a lot of violets. Palate also sappy, with tart acid. Really a fantastic value at around 20 USD. Bought a case; will go well with Thanksgiving dinner. — 2 months ago

Kabinett from a grand cru vineyard.

Nose: fresh peach. Yellow flowers.

Palate: fresh peach. Mineral. Amazingly delicious. Mineral crunch. Sick. Delicious. Palate fill. Wow. Balancing pink grapefruit skin.

Yah. Kab is not just about the mosel.

Whoa. Grand cru Chardonnay. No question.

Nose: fresh bordier butter. Integrated minerals. White flowers. Lovely.

Palate: lovely bright minerals. So deep. Brilliant green apples. Massive density. Utterly delicious.

An utterly magnificent wine.

This is the Riesling Trocken (dry). Beautiful citrus fruit, lemon curd, hint jasmine and a faint touch of peach as it reaches close to room temp. lacks this wow haven‘t had this before - effect. Some sulfur on the nose which needs to breathe out. Good wine. — 2 months ago

What a great wine! Perfect for a light meal with a roasted butternut and arugula salad and some leftover roast chicken. Delightful and light finish, with mouth-puckering acid. Yummy! — a month ago

Thinking pink as summer temps continue into October...
Strawberries and minerals on the nose and palate, more mild acidity compared to prior years. I'm loving this vintage!! — 2 months ago
