Karthäuserhof Eitelsbacher Karthäuserhofberg Riesling Kabinett 1998: A clear and bright wine, with a typical green edge to the hue. There are a few bubbles collecting on the inside of the glass, suggesting some residual dissolved carbon dioxide. On the nose there are fresh limes and notes of blossom, with a steely, slatey firmness lying behind the juicy, almost powerful fruit. Immediately apparent on the palate is a slight, appealing carbon dioxide spritz confirming my suspicions. Alongside there is fresh acidity buoying up a weight of lively, limey fruit, which lingers through the finish, with a floral edge. 17+/20 (17/1/02)
