Wound insanely tight but all the brilliance is there — 7 months ago
A somm-recommended bottle after being consulted on which vintage might be the most open of the Egon kabi’s, and right he was. The 16’ was singing! Very Egon with the notes cassis, salt/slate, and a touch of cream. Definitely sweeter and richer (less of a classic kabi) than the Haart Ohligsberg Alter Reben kabi, but still very energetic and quaffable. Plus, I can’t look pass how singular these wines are (see notes on the other mentioned wine on a little related rant). — 4 years ago
From Domestique-had for shrimp boil. Delicious, crisp, a little effervescence. Great with food and to sip $23

Eyes:
Gold; pale; bright, almost shining; slight froth (?); cleat edge; a tad green
Nose:
Green apple; savory mineral notes; citrus; something very intoxicatingly savory that I can’t quite pin; crisp; honey; frozen fruit
Mouth:
Sizzling sweetness almost like pop rocks; crisp; honey; lime; lemon; fairly sweet, not too dry
On the whole: excellent and complex. Light, crisp, acidic, and aromatic, just how I like white wine. Would absolutely adore it if it were a bit drier. — 7 years ago
Off-dry style but still full of finesse and focus. Green apple, steely and mineral. Gunflint rather than petrol nose. Smooth finish and round mouthfeel. — a month ago

Love love love this wine. A beautiful Riesling with lots of Lemon and Green Apple up front. Low on the mineral with a well balanced acidity. A can’t beat wine for the price. — 6 years ago
Pleasantly sweet, not overly so — 3 months ago
Wasn’t expecting sweet when we opened it so a bit taken aback. Very well balanced and fruit finish. Great with cake - would probably be good in smaller amounts rather than a sipping /dinner wine — 6 months ago
Tasted like a Mosel GG. There’s probably some intellectual implication in this statement, but I reckon that best be shared once I’ve had KP’s rendition of this vineyard. The wine comes from one of KP’s parcel in Florsheim that’s farmed and vinified by Julian in Piesport. The opening statement probably roots from the extreme tartness and overall structure of the wine, but I wouldn’t discount the inherent biases of not tasting blind. Opened with an insane nose of ripe stone fruits, pears, white flowers, herbs, camphor, and a very interesting pastry-lke character. Concentrated, long, very tart, and chalky on the palate. It will undoubtedly improve in the cellar, but was already such a joy to drink at this stage. I absolutely adored the wine, but it must be said that the feeling was likely amplified by the fact that it involves some of my favourite vintners in the world - Julian and KP. — 3 years ago
Such a great Kabinett...!
