From one of the great M-S-R estates, this 2014 was tight in its first several years. It’s really opened up now. Elegant, expressive, and sweetness hidden. Has a good 15 or more years of potential development.

Loads of honeyed overripe fruit, sweet flowers and earthy lanolin. Quite aromatic and a mouth coating body with a medium acidity lingering. I would say there’s a good amount of life left with the vibrancy of fruit and bright acidity. The length was impressive as well. Don’t underestimate kabinett!

Kabinett...either not stored well by retailer, or not shipped in reefer. No freshness. Maderized? Color was 2X as dark as Weingut Muller Sharzhofberger Kabinett 2009 opened simultaneously.

Admittedly not the style of Kabi I prefer - definitely could be lighter, but the superiority of the site does reveal itself. Severely mineral and indeniably lengthy.

Golden straw color, delicate apple & white peach aroma. Surprisingly crisp acidity for such a ripe, hot summer growing season. Juicy fruit with touch of sweetness in finish. At its best right now.
