Langwerth von Simmern Hattenheimer Riesling Kabinett Trocken 2007 rated 95 points by Gary Walsh from Winorama


If you open it young you’ll be greeted by a bit of free sulphur (nothing too daunting mind you) but then comes the reward - an explosion of citrus, white peach, mineral and spice. It’s racy and spritzy on the palate with tingling sherbetty flavours of tangerine, lime, lemon and passionfruit sorbet and fairly bursts through the mouth. It has strong acidity to balance the juicy fruit and finishes very long with a tangy acid bite on exit. It’s a powerhouse of Riesling purity - a brilliant Kabinett. Drink : 2008 - 2020+ 95 points Gary Walsh, Winorama
