    David Schildknecht, Vinous
    Sourced as usual from the Frühlingsplätzchen, this leads with subtle yet seductive floral perfume suggestive of apple blossom and lily-of-the-valley. (A “place of spring,” indeed, this Frühlingsplätzchen!) Aromatic intimations of white peach, grapefruit and lime translate into luscious, juicy profusion on a polished palate. This finishes with a saliva-liberating suffusion of mineral salts accompanied by utmost transparency to stony, floral and coolingly green herbal nuances. Between ripeness of fruit and leaving behind only a modest level of residual sugar, this bottling reached 9.5% alcohol – high by prevailing Kabinett standards – but it certainly exhibits no lack of levity or animation, impressions accentuated by invigorating impingements of dissolved CO2.
