Terrific acidity, just a touch of sweetness with plenty of richness for kabinett level. Notes of ripe peach, petrol and exotic citrus fruits with just a tad of butterscotch.

Yummmmm. Perfect with thanksgiving #2. It is perfectly aged with notes of petrol, lemon curd, and earl grey tea. Deep golden color and has built quite a bit in texture and weight over the years. I love how kabinett gets richer and auslese gets seemingly lighter over the years. This is a perfect example of a $20ish wine worth aging for a decade

This warm vintage kabinett from a top site in hattenheim is shedding fat and showing some definition.

Slate-y petrol nose! Baked apple and lemon-lime. Custardy lemongrass with a lemon sorbet, white pepper and dry beauty. #riesling #schlossshönborn #kabinett

Smells a bit floral. Tastes a touch sweet. So refreshing.

Bursts of apricot and peach- if you can get past the scent that will grow peach fuzz on your chest. Beautiful with complex and spicy.
