The 2012 Zilliken Ockfener Bockstein Kabinett is an absolute stunning Riesling, it is loaded with beautiful aromas of fresh lime zest, tangerine, green tea, orange blossoms and intense minerality. On the palate the wine is richly textured and layered, yet kept extremely balanced and elegant with the perfect touch of acidity. This is so sleek, as all the citrus and stony mineral flavors make a seamless into the finish where linger effortlessly. This is a flat-out gorgeous bottle that is so delicious right now, but also will evolve for decades. (Best 2015-2032) - January, 2014 (JD)
