Very appealing, subtle peach aromas and flavors make this a truly elegant wine that delivers all you expect from a Rhine kabinett. Good length and a dryish aftertaste. Drinkable now, but can also age.??–null??Region: Germany / Pfalz Select to Add

For the extraordinary diversity of great wines that are produced, Muller-Catoir is Germany's greatest estate. Who else achieves such brilliance with not only Riesling, but with Muskateller, Scheurebe, and Rieslaner? Muller-Catoir's 1994s are brilliant wines, as well as the most backward I have tasted from this estate. Their extremely high extract bodes well for future development, as do their magnificently high yet ripe acids. The 1994 Haardter Burgergarten Riesling Kabinett exhibits a striking nose of sweet, Maryland-grown Silver Queen corn (I am not exaggerating!). Dry and ripe, with sensationally extracted flavors, this full-bodied, dense wine offers up an intriguing blend of mineral, cherry, and corn-like flavors. It gives the impression of being tight and backward despite its impressive display of fruit, power, and balance. Drink it over the next decade. Importer: a Terry Theise Selection, Milton S.

Muller-Catoir's tendency to produce more structured wines than most others in 1992 is evident with the beautifully poised, perfumed, crisp, well-delineated 1992 Haardter Burgergarten Riesling Kabinett. Dry, with excellent depth and richness, as well as a backward personality, this is a 1992 that should open with 1-2 years of cellaring, and keep for a decade. Muller-Catoir is Germany's most fashionable winemaker, enjoying a position among connoisseurs much like that of such illustrious French winemakers as Jean-Francois Coche-Dury, Comte Lafon, Michel Niellon, and Olivier and Leonard Humbrecht. Muller-Catoir's aromatic wines are undoubtedly super-ripe and multi-dimensional, as well as exceptionally complex. Most importantly, they are delicious! Not surprisingly, Muller-Catoir excelled in the 1992 vintage, with two of the firm's sweeter cuvees approaching perfection. A Terry Theise Estate Selection, imported by Milton S.

To no one's surprise, Muller-Catoir has again produced some stunning wines. While less dramatic than his other 1991's, Muller-Catoir's two 1991 Kabinetts are still exquisite wines. The 1991 Haardter Burgergarten Riesling Kabinett reveals a spicy, austere bouquet, deep, excellent cherry, minty-like flavors, and a dry, crisp, full-flavored finish. Drink it over the next 5 years.
