A banger! Such a cool gravel, wet concrete nose but hits you with a racy acidity & a plate of honey-coated stone fruit! — 6 months 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. — 6 months ago

2019. Restrained aromas with a hint of petrol, but once in the mouth it’s all citrus and stone fruit flavors. Delicious! A little more sweetness than I expected, but it worked great when paired with the Vietnamese marinated pork tenderloins we made for dinner. — 7 months ago
