TN: Seriously good Kabinett
Saturday was just a beer at a Korean place before we went to see "The
Soloist" with another couple. Sunday Betsy browned some smoked pork chops and made a sauce with cider, mustard and vinegar, served with green beans and salad. Wine was the Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Riesling Kabinett . Bright, bracing, and beautiful, this is what I look for in Kabinett (and I liked this better than its widely acclaimed Spatlese brother tried a few months ago). Crisp Fuji and Granny Smith apple fruit, a little white nectarine, loads of slatey minerality on the finish. Crisp and zippy acids, balanced sweetness, this 8% abv beauty vanishes quickly. This could age, but why? A- Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency. * |
