Zingy, classic #Saar #Riesling loaded with citrus, lemon/lime peel and a long resonant finish--an epic #Kabinett for the ages--at €113 an all-time record ever paid for a Kabinett!!! Vintage 2013 Alte Reben #Auction #VDP

Cracking wine. Immensely concentrated fruit, power and cutting acid. Quite a different year with the 13 but crazy powerful wine. Sheer presence. Brilliant

Pretty great now, but could age some to be even better. Great acidic and residual sugar potential.

Ripe and sappy but with a lot of power. None of the brittle anorexia of many 2013s I've had. Excellent. #nymphet #screwratings

I found the nose to be restrained, perhaps I am spoiled given how generous previous vintages have been. The mid-palate was filled with baby fat but that quickly gave way to a firehose of acidity. This needs to sit in the corner for a very long time.
