James Suckling Review
Rated 93
What a fascinating cool and dark nose this has for the solar vintage! It makes me think of a waterfall surrounded by moss and ferns. On the light and sleek palate this Mosel Kabinett is elegant and restrained. This will strike many wine drinkers around the globe as dry enough. Drink or hold.
