Score 95/100 · Drink 2018-2030, David Schildknecht, Vinous, Dec 2018

Like the corresponding Kabinett, this displays hauntingly bittersweet, musky floral perfume allied to fresh lime and white peach. It also offers a memorably savory sweet-saline crustacean-mineral meld that suggests a rich, iodine-laced shrimp-shell reduction. Crystalline stony impingements and mouthwateringly marine mineral nuances enhance a prodigiously interactive finish so bright and vibrant it’s almost incandescent.

Still slightly closed on the nose, but this is super-seductive and has a very long, silky finish. Enormous freshness. Wait until at least 2018 to get the best out of this, then drink for decades.
