  August 29, 2020 - #35-98, 8.5% abv. Smoky, ethereal, and light, both on the nose and palate, this is a crystalline edition of this wine, with still a very moderate splash of fruit. High acidity with a lightness and a certain dryness that pretty much no longer exists in today's Kabinetten (unless you're talking about the post-modern vom Boden-style producers). On the finish, there is so much extract you get a feeling of tannins. This is a brilliant wine with clarity, both in flavour profile and sense of purpose.

  June 20, 2016 - Leo's Blind Tasting Group - June '16 edition (Back Forty West, NYC): Opened as a replacement for the corked '04 Spätlese, and this was a great showing. A bit rounder on the palate than my last bottle, but showing great complexity with florality, maturing smokiness, and lemon cream flavours augmenting the fresh Mosel fruit and minerality here, and just moderately sweet on the palate with bright acids balancing it perfectly. Excellent, though still on the young side.

  March 18, 2016 - TN: Terrific wines (Loire, Germany, Austria, Alsace & Rioja) as Jeff & Dena Morris return to NYC. (Royal Seafood, NYC): Classic aromas of passion and orchard fruit, hints of red apple and a strong slate/mineral character that's just developing petrol notes. Lively and still fresh on the palate with passion fruit, citrus and peach flavors dominating. That said, the secondary development and mineral/petrol notes are right at the cusp of taking over the fruit, so if you prefer a fruit dominated wine, better to drink up sooner rather than later. Long, snappy finish. A great way to start off the evening. Solid A-.

  March 18, 2016 - Mostly-Riesling jeeb with Jeff and Dena Morris visiting NYC (Royal Seafood, NYC): An excellent showing. Very classic Mosel flavours here - lots of red apple, pears, and tarter citrus notes accented with floral and mineral notes, a touch of sponti yeast funk upon opening, and more savoury creamy and other developed notes. There's moderate sweetness here that's nicely balanced by the acidity, and it comes across very light on the palate.

  February 13, 2016 - Deep straw in color with a glint of gold. Nose of dried peaches and petrol. Tastes of ripe peaches, Cortland apples, and hint of limestone. Lovely acidity slightly outdoing the fruit. More primary than would expect for a 19 year old bottle, even from this sight and producer. Will easily drink well for another decade or more.
