Robert Parker Wine Advocate Stephan Reinhardt - 28 Dec 16
Coming from argillaceous shale soils, the 2015 Oberhäuser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett opens with a very clear and coolish, slightly flinty bouquet with white Riesling and some refreshing lemon flavors. Full-flavored and intense on the palate, this is a lovely, light-hearted, piquant and racy Riesling with intensity and persistency. The 40+ grams of residual sugar are almost fully eaten by the minerality and piquancy of this picture book Kabinett.

Aromatic minerals on the nose. Very rich palate entry – as though it were in the higher reaches of Kabinett ripeness. 88-90 Oechsle apparently. Lots to love. (JR)
