A nice quaffable Reisling that was less than optimally staged (at the last minute) to follow the stunning 2010 Marcel Deiss Grasberg.
Melon and citrus palate with nice freshness and lift. A bit of fizziness and hints of petrol to excite the finish. A fair degree of complexity for a Kabinett. Oliver and Wilhelm Haag demonstrate consistent quality across their entire range of offerings ...
Paired exceptionally well late in the evening with bits of fried prosciutto that were left over from brunch ... :) :) :)

Day 2 notes...
Paired the 2nd half of the bottle with Vietnamese cuisine at dinner. Showed better today (in proper context) than on day 1, when it was somewhat unfairly juxtaposed with the Deiss Grasberg.
Settled into a charming groove, with feinherb character coming into play and supporting food-friendly complexity. Delicious interplay of tropical citrus fruit and mouthwatering salinity. Really showcases the elegance of the 2007 vintage ... delightfully irresistible :) ... Fritz Haag is one of my favorite producers ...
