2016 Falkenstein Oberemmeler Karlsberg Riesling Kabinett
Refreshing salty and brisk, but with a juicy core and the lovely lemon drop ripe succulence in the middle adds a nice dimension. Very nice and very fun, if not profound. Perhaps not a regal high-level vineyard, and perhaps not a kabinett stacked for aging. (But what do I know, feel free to tell me I’m wrong) Regardless, it is definitely fresh fun wine for drinking now. Preferably before and during dinner. Maybe even outside on a warm day!
2015 Ludwig Breiling Mertersdorfer Herrenberg Kabinett
Juicy fresh firm and decently fine. All the right pieces and a very lovely wine. No sparks, but certainly worth drinking. Especially if it’s a meal where contemplation is not required.
2015 von Hövel Hütte Oberemmel Kabinett
Very verdant yet also deeper and thicker than the Breiling. Much more material to work through here. But now is not the time. Closed down and the least expressive of these three.
