Dhroning on and on about the First Man in Mosel

A.J. Adam Dhroner Hofberger Riesling Kabinett 2010
8% abv; 65 g/l RS. A lovely Kabinett, and for once it is a Kab that isn't a Spätlese (though there is certainly no lack of weight in this one either!). On day one, the aromas are a bit stinky, sulfuric or reductive or something like that. But the palate is lovely: light and intense and sweet and racy. Despite the aromas not being open, it was a struggle not to finish the whole bottle in one day! The second day did see improvement: lovely, savoury, stone fruit aromas superseded the slightly stinky ones. No change on the palate that I could see. Lovely, slight touch of quinine bitterness on the finish. Outstanding.
