Fully mature. Not great, but a pleasant afternoon sipper.

Straw gold. Pomes, white blossoms, and slate on the nose. Echoed on the full-bodied palate. Racy acidity, but not strictly "lean." Very nice old Kabinett.

Straw gold in color. Green apples, orange blossoms and wet stone on the nose; echoed on the lean palate. High acidity, low alcohol, no tannins (of course). Very nice for an old Kabinett.

It's getting absurd that I'm opening 11yr old wine so casually.

This was an impulse buy...so glad I did. It is quite lively for a 15 year old wine. Paired with chicken & cilantro potstickers and a quinoa salad. Citrus, enough sweetness that it should be consumed with somewhat spicy food. Extremely lengthy finish, honeyed apricot, orange peel, & floral notes. The cork looked like it was going to be bad (dark black on top 1/8 inch) but the full cork revealed that not to be the case and no off flavors. At least a few years remaining...drink now
