Emrich-Schönleber Riesling Monzinger Kabinett 2014 1.5L

93 points David Schildknecht (Vinous): "White peach and black currant, wreathed in honeysuckle, migrate from the nose to a delicate, almost airy, yet lusciously succulent midpalate. Subtle creaminess is consistent with striking transparency to stony and floral nuances in a soothingly yet stimulatingly lingering liftoff of a finish. What a vintage this is for those Rhine growers who still have the talent and interest to accomplish something special in the category of Kabinett! (The wine originated in the Frühlingsplätzchen, incidentally, but in keeping with the VDP’s attitude toward Kabinett, reference to its vineyard of origin has been removed, presumably lest it get terroir aspirations above its station.) Drink: 2016-2030. (May 2016)"

91 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "There is a touch of the exotic on both the nose and palate of the 2014 Monzinger Kabinett from the Schönleber family. The bouquet is quite expressive, offering up scents of pear, a hint of pineapple, herb tones, white flowers, a touch of honeycomb and a lovely base of slate. On the palate the wine is medium-full, complex and shows excellent backend mineral drive, with bright acids and fine cut and grip. I like how this wine, despite its touch of tropical fruit elements, closes with a classic Halenberg herb tones on the finish. Good juice, but not quite as classy as the 2017 and 2016 versions. 2019-2045. (Jul/Aug 2019)"

91 points Stephen Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2014 Riesling Monzinger Kabinett opens with a lovely, pure and flinty/mineral-flavored white fruit aroma. Sweet, piquant and light, this is quite a mineral and salty, if not complex Kabinett from 30-year-old vines on a gravelly soil. The finish is salty and almost dry. This is elegant, pure and mineral Riesling with a food-friendly dryness and salinity. Pure stones with a hint of Riesling. Bottled with 34.5 grams of residual sugar. Drink: 2016-2030. (3/3/16)"
