Joh. Jos. Christoffel Erben, Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Kabinett, Mosel

Just pristine killer Kabinett. I should raise this score on principle. It's just so balanced and such. Really great. Asian stir fry night. Great match! This sells for a steal. ~$25? really? great!

Very surprisingly well balanced and delicious even at this young age. Optimally, save for 1 to 2 more years before one begins drinking them Cristoffel has done a wonderful job with this wine and it is a delight to drink now with any kind of spiced food or fish. I prefer my Rieslings a bit older, but this is certainly entering a balanced drinking window. There is a tiny bit of excess residual fruit, But nothing like 2005 or 2015. …

Lovely wine for Thai takeaway lunch in the roof garden with the kids. (Gabe brought it.) It's off-dry rather than sweet, lifted, 9% abv, with plenty of stone fruit and lime, along with some minerality on the palate. Pure pleasure!

Appearance: Pale lemon color. Nose: Medium aromas of citrus fruit (lemon and lemon peel), stone fruit (apricot) and green fruit (apple and pear). Palate: Off-dry, medium(+) acidity, low alcohol, medium(-) body with medium flavors of citrus fruit (lemon and lemon peel), stone fruit (apricot) and green fruit (apple and pear). Conclusions: Good wine that can drink now but has potential for aging.

Pale straw color. Vibrant aromas of citrus (lime) and stone fruit (apricot) with a little green apple. Wine was very acidic but somewhat balanced by the sweetness. However, not fully integrated. Enjoyable now but would benefit from some more time in the bottle.
