Better than the 16' Egon Kabi I feel. It's just so playful, deep, and incisive, with Grunhaus' trademark lightness. The nose feels really cool - smoke, mint, fresh cut herbs, sea breeze, citrus oil, cassis, and lime. As usual, the palate's very juicy and long. Leaves you craving for the next pour. Sadly, I brought a 750 ml to a 10 people dinner. Dream pairing with crispy roasted suckling pig though 🤤 — 7 years ago
Man, these Julian Haart '16s are awesome from what I've tasted thus far. Electric, juicy, mineral Rieslings with more verve and tension than you can shake a stick at. Very young and a little too reductive on opening right now so splash it in a decanter for a bit and better yet, wait for a few years. Pours a pale gold hue. Medium (+) concentration of aromatics of some slightly funky crushed slate minerality, slightly underripe white peach, honeydew melon, some lees influence that is coming across as aged, hard cheese rind and a slight lager-esque character, and there's some sugar snap pea character as well. There's some of that struck match reduction aroma upon opening as well, but it blows off with a bit of air. On the palate, there's more crushed slate, white peach (ripe rather than underripe like on the nose), honeydew melon, hard cheese rind leesiness, and a bit of beeswax character that was absent on the nose. Nice length on the palate as well. Juicy, intense high acidity, lean, light body, just the slightest bit off-dry. Really nice stuff! Julian's studied under some pretty impressive names (Egon Müller included amongst them) and it definitely shows. Excited to see what he does in the future. — 9 years ago

Unbelievable wonderment a true privilege to taste this 41 years growing season old vibrant late harvest sublime Reisling.. green bottle equals mosel Saar ruwer. Stunning. Fresh lively complex refreshing — 2 months ago
This was a weird one for me. A perfect kabi in every sense - pure, fruity, complex, saline, and just dancing on the palate, but I just can’t help but feel that something was missing. Frankly it’s hard to put a finger on it, but it was especially apparent when compared with the Egon kabi. Despite being the better kabi from the get-go (better balance, more finesse), the Ohligsberg Alte Reben kabi lacked a sort of dimension the Egon had… a special something… even “dirt”. Is it terrior? It felt almost “artificially perfect”. Hard to explain, but it may well be just too young to come to a conclusion at this stage. Time will tell. Having said all that, it was still a wine that made me very happy drinking. Pure energy! — 4 years ago

Ofcourse way too young, needs probably another 5 years in the cellar but I absolutely enjoy this youthfulness aswell with already great balance of sweetness and acidity with loads of fresh stone fruit and citrus flavours and a lot of floral notes. Already shows nice complexity and the finish is loooooong — 9 years ago
Not like the 19’ Kupp Auction Kabi needed it, but it was elevated to new heights with Satoyama Farm’s excellent dry-brined roast chicken. And this was all on day one, with the sponti stink showing in full glory, which somehow worked so well with the chicken - the sulphurous aromas melding with the crispy, caramel-ly chicken skin, bringing an almost smoky savouriness to the meal. But for me, it was salty, racy, and juicy palate that made the pairing - just slicing through all the richness and intensity of a properly raised bird. Boah, just magical!
Having said all that, it took about two days for the sponti stink to blow away, and the aromas to show its best. At this point, the wine really spoke of the Saar. In fact, it reminded me of a classic Egon Kabi - that mix of cassis, salt/slate, and touch of cream was just so similar. The Saar speaking! White flowers, kiwi, pear, ripe lemons, and fresh herbs complete the notes. The wine remained downright playful from start to finish, dancing on the palate on a delicate sugar-acid balance. So invigorating! A classic Kabi destined for greatness. — 3 years ago

Smells like gruner veltliner, green apples, can says? Tastes kinda sparkly. Very easy drinking, great with Vietnamese food at van da.
