Tasting notes
The 2016 Bernkasteler Badstube Kabinett (AP 03 17) offers a beautifully clear and spring-like bouquet with some untamed (reductive) "sponty" aromas. Super juicy and round on the palate, this is a light and charming Kabinett in the medium-sweet style. Gorgeous and stimulating. A picture-book Kabinett.

Behind some fermentative notes on the nose come Bernkastel-typical scents of mint-tinged lime and fresh dark cherry that set the theme for a delicate, polished, juicy palate performance. This finishes with lift and refreshment, its sweetness supportive but not at all blatant, and with subtle wet stone underpinnings perceived with watercolor-like transparency through a wash of fruit flavors.
