WTN: 2002 Kruger-Rumpf Kabinett

by Jim Grow » Thu Jan 19, 2012 9:13 pm

This German Riesling from Munsterer Rheinberg was in splendid shape with a pale straw color and great prickly acidity that I love. The flavor was of peach with an abv of 8.5%. At peak now but will last for a few more years probably.

Hi Jim -

Thank you for the great note. Although this is a wine that I have enjoyed in other vintages, I have never had the 2002. Glad that you enjoyed it.

The '09 is a real standout. Kruger-Rumpf has made some real strides in the last few vintages.

Spot on David, you were enthusiastic when I posted late last year on the Kabinett from 2010 I believe. Amazed that the `02 was so good.

Just opened the `10 Kruger-Rumpf Munsterer Riesling Kabinett, which is singing nicely. A tad on the sweet side but very nice structure, especially on the mid-palate. Good value for $21 Cdn, will post more thoughts asap.
A wine to put away and see what happens!
