Lots of berry and herb aromas make this a very striking Kabinett, then a brilliant interplay of acidity, fruit and spice gives it a lot of excitement. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

This zingy kabinett is such an irresistible lightning bolt of Riesling. While subtle and mineral on the nose, the palate jolts with lime, yellow-peach and tangerine flavors struck by tangs of salt and slate. Light in body yet piercing in style, it finishes long on a murmur of spice and earth. It’s hard not to drink this one immediately
but it should hold through 2030 as well. (AI)

The sample of the 2019 Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett is still very reductive on the bright and floral nose. Juicy and round on the palate, this is a salty-piquant and stimulating Kabinett with good freshness and tension. Tasted in April 2020. (SR)

K&L Notes
91pts Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 30 20. The 2019er Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett was made with fruit harvested at 88° Oechsle and was fermented down to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (46 g/l). It offers a rather ripe and subtly ample nose made of pear, cassis, cardamom, minty herbs, whipped cream, a hint of blueberry, and quite some residual scents from its spontaneous fermentation. The wine develops a juicy creaminess of a Spätlese on the palate but leaves a firmly zesty and minty feel full of cut in the engaging finish. Some riper scents of almond, apricot, and honey add to the under-toned richness of the sensorial experience. 2029-2049." (10/2020)
