BR was only off by a decade in this blind, which is both a testament to her blind-tasting acumen and the producer's greatness. She thought it was an 05' which given how young this was looking, was a forgivable mistake. The producer was an easy one - that unmistakable green tea aroma with streaks of white flowers, kaffir lime, and anise was just so Grunhaus. How she figured out it was from Abtsberg still baffles me, but I guess it was really just a 50/50 shot once the producer was established. Finally the lightness and dry linear finish placed it right in the Kabinett Trocken territory. Bravo, BR! As for me, the wine was just too digestible to have warranted any thought when drinking - disappeared over lunch with a good half of the effort contributed by yours truly. — 2 years ago
Stabil producent, levererar alltid. Den här är klockren, superelegant fruktdrycker Pinot. Värd varenda krona. — 3 years ago
Peak of summer is Kabi time!
Fresh & light yet punching some much flavour!
After the first naphtha nose blows off this shows amazing purity & freshness with fresh vineyard peaches, underripe apricots, a flowery whiff, some tangerine peel. And cool, slightly spicy, slate minerality. Very enticing!
Not exactly weightless as some can be (warm vintage), this delivers beautiful purity of fruit balanced off with zingy acidity. Nicely poised & balanced. Very elegant and highly drinkable.
This is really good stuff! — 4 months ago
This is a gorgeous, vivacious Kabinett with a core of juicy orange & lime acidity to balance the quite sweet but tangy flavours of peach, nectarine, apple pie and marmalade. It has good balance and pleases through the finish, and should continue to age with grace. — a month ago

Auslese #93. cool and precise with stewed apple, slate and a hint of oyster shells. Good salinity and a poached orchard fruit core. Good balance and length with lovely soft fruit. — a month ago
