Yikes, cork was soaked about halfway to the top already, but good shape otherwise. Soaring nose of tropical fruit and banana. The palate is a fascinating study in contrast, as it quite rich and concentrated in flavor, while light and airy in mouthfeel. Good pairing with Braunschweiger sandwiches and Limburger cheese.

It's hard to believe a five year old Kabinett is so tight. On day one the wine is unyielding and closed. I recorked the bottle after a glass and an hour and figured I'd see what happens. I didn't get back to it until day 3 and the wine was singing after having this chance to unwind. Bright acidity with notes of tart and sweet citrus fruit, and slate emerge in abundance. Classic Prum in terms of it's lightweight mouthfeel and relatively dry presentation. This was great. Also, hands off until 2027 or later. This is a 30 year wine.

Drunk for lunch with pea and mint soup. Very pale lemon gold - barely any colour at all. Nose of peach and white flowers with a slight hint of petrol. This continued through onto the palate, together with some citrus, apricot and apple notes. Very slight sweetness but in total harmony with the acidity. The poise and balance of this wine was extraordinary. - it felt so light. Great persistence and length. This is going to last a long time. An excellent Kabinett - one of the best I have had.

Honeyed nose, grapefruit palate. Refreshing, engaging, slightly lacking in length and complexity but utterly gluggable now.
