@Byron C Mayes nailed it with his review. I found it a bit on the sweet and heavy side for a kabinett. I like em crisp and clean. Very good.

Star bright pale straw in color. Abundant nose of yellow apples, white peaches, and honeysuckle. Medium light bodied palate yields those same fruits and flowers bolstered by bracing acidity with a hint of burgeoning dark petroleum on the finish. “Classic” is the word that immediately come to mind with anything from Erben-Thanisch, and this is no exception. Just enough fruit, just enough acidity (well, maybe a wee bit more), and just enough body make this an excellent sipper or dinner wine with just about anything (Riesling is the universal white, after all). Mosel from entry to finish, it satisfies now and will reward with a bit of time. Drink now through 2027.

Yup, yup, and yup again. Smells like ant killer, but is plain killer.

Lean lemony and most of the sweetness fading to pomelo pith and wet chalkboard.

Awesome. Lots of slate on this one. Chalky. Really glad I found it.

Situated adjacent the great "#DOCTOR" vineyard, this is classic middle #Mosel with all the trimmings: glorious fruit, refreshing acidity, low alcohol and perfect balance. What else can one ask for? #drhthanisch #badstube #Riesling #Kabinett #2014 #ClassicMosel

Spiced apple w reasonable but a little less than ideal acid. Could be more focused, but such is life.
