Last night Betsy made "Danny Kaye's chicken salad" (recipe is
supposedly the actor's , very good). I've liked Riesling with this,
and since I saw some recent notes on '03s drinking well I thought it a
good time for my lone remainingbottle of 2003 Donnhoff Oberhauser
Leistenberg Kabinett. This had not been my favorite at release;it's
actually the last '03 Kab I own. OK, let's see. Fairly sweet, rather
round, this is more like a heavy softer Spatlese than a Kab. Good
flavor profile- sweet peaches, a little lime, some herby notes (almost
rosemary). But this just doesn't have the acidity to be great. Not
flabby, but sodt. The 2003s I've liked tend to be more on Auslese
level, where I'm already looking for richness. Still, this is good
wine if not Donnhoff great (and I like better than on release). B

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.*
