Pear, and what is that - plum? on the nose. A little lemon and honey as well. Arresting. Medium weight, bright pear peach fruit on the palate. Starts with some sweet pear but that quickly slips to tart lemon. Long finish. Better balance and more acid that I was expecting for a '22 but this is Falkenstein after all. Wow, this is delicious. A big step up from the Schaefer and Ludes.

Light nose, just a little peachy pear. Good weight and body, a little more density and intensity on the finish. Tasty, but not especially engaging. Another very nice Kabinett. On the second glass I'm noticing the body and depth, the palate opening up a bit and more resonant.

Bright apple, pear, a little honey. Vanilla? Mid-weight and slightly sweet as I expect for a Kabinett. Certainly a lot less acid than many '21s I've been drinking but, not fat. Moderate tart acidic finish. Med length. This is a pretty good Kabinett, but at first blush only that. Enjoyable.
