Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, July 13, 2022 - Taking the price in to consideration this might be the best Kabinett I've ever had...
I might have scored the 2018 Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Kabinett 1 point higher than this but that one's also at least 4x the price and I rated it for the aging potential.

It had started turning a slight golden color after about 7 years now. Beautiful in the Spiegelau Definition Universal glass. 8% ABV.

Nose was right in your face from the first pour but opened up even more as time progressed. Green apple, apple blossom, white peach, nectarine, lime juice, wet slate and a very tiny hint of rubber and smoke fills up the nostrils. You can really sense the acidity here and that this wine is going to deliver...

Palate is just what all Kabinetts should be. The elegance and lightness combined with this fierce intensity and complexity with a long finish! It's just waves and waves of green apple, white peach, nectarine, lime juice, lime zest, passion fruit and such high minerality it's to die for. The balance between the fruity sweetness and high acidity is ethereal.
