"This is really a lovely vintage of Abtsberg Kabinett and it will be well worth a special effort to seek out the thirty percent of this cuvée that are to be bottled with natural corks. The lovely bouquet wafts from the glass in a complex blend of white cherries, pears, lime zest, a beautiful base of slate, petrol and a nice touch of violets again in the upper register. On the palate the wine is medium-full, crisp and classy, with a fine core, impressive nascent complexity, fine focus and balance and a very long, snappy and quite minerally finish. Fine juice in the making."
