A little deeper and less exotic than the Limestone Kabinett but still intensely aromatic, peach and apricot and then more exotic as it opens. Fuller and more intense in the mouth, still with that crackling dry acidity. Reminds me of a May garden – like the one I am sitting in right now. Honeysuckle. And wildflower honey! Soaring acidity lifts the fruit and makes it so salivating, and just a little salty on the finish. Dryish aftertaste despite the residual sugar. Very long peachy, citrus finish.
This is the first time since 2004 that they have bottled a Kabinett under the single-vineyard Kirchspiel name. Old vines. RS 41 g/l. Cask sample.
