The 2005 Piesporter Goldtropfchen Riesling Kabinett smells of pineapple, grapefruit, and blueberries. At once luscious and creamy, yet light and refreshing on the palate - and with notes of wet stone and petrol accenting the fruit - this Kabinett from some of the earliest-harvested and lightest raw material available, and still possessing nearly the same must weight as the corresponding Spatlese and 9% finished alcohol, nevertheless conveys a true Kabinett sense of delicacy and refreshment, elegance and lift. A long, refined finish of grapefruit and black currant underlain by slate completes the picture of a wine that will surely reward tasters for a dozen or more years. -David Schildknecht

Pale greenish yellow. Exquisite bouquet of peach pit, acacia blossom and lemon oil. Delicate on the palate, with an attractive juxtaposition of apricot sweetness and spicy citricity. Crisp, bright and elegant on the persistently long finish. Classic kabinett.

Smooth and creamy, this Riesling is balanced by a lively structure. Harmonious, with peach, lime and slate flavors and a hint of vanilla. Very enticing, with a long aftertaste of mineral. Drink now through 2018. 300 cases made. -BS
