prinz hallgartener jungfer kabinett riesling (rheingau)

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：2031

The 2006 Hallgartener Jungfer Riesling Kabinett possesses a delightful lime sorbet-like character, with hints of lily and red berries as well as rich suggestions of nut oils and honey. Silken in texture and refined and delicate in its well-balanced finish, this is a model of what off-dry Rheingau Kabinett can be, but seldom is for a variety of reasons, not least of which are warm recent vintages and disinterest among vintners and the German public in the category. Enjoy it over the coming 6-8 years. This is yet another vintage that reminds Prinz that different parcels must be sought out, as well as different viticultural regimens, if he is to be able to preserve a sense of delicacy and the sort of refined floral and mineral character for which Hallgarten Riesling was long known, but he certainly mastered his task.

Despite this wine’s considerable sweetness, it features a balanced blend of minerality and fruit. Pear and slate notes mark the nose and palate, finishing soft and round. An easy-drinking kabinett for near-term consumption.——J.C.(8/1/2008)—— 90
