Low in acid? Weinbach? Mind-buggeringly high acid? Not in my objective reality!!! The note of muscat in riesling is frequent with very young Mosel wines and I suspect that the baby fat on this wine made it seem a bit more ponderous than it would have been later. In the context of 07 german wines from the Mosel at the Kabinett level, it fared exceedingly well in prestigious company, and I am startled at this poor showing. Still, I understand better looking at the wine company: one corked wine, one oxidized (a quality in Manzanilla pasada, and I don't scoff at it), and two much sweeter and more alcoholic wines. No wonder the Kabinett seemed dainty... Oh wait, I am being a relativist. The only thing objective today is that the French rugby team did not exist at Twickenham yesterday and were miserably shitty.
