After turning in a surprising performance in the more difficult 2004 vintage, Eberhard von Kunow has again produced an excellent selection of wines. Although even the dry rieslings are good, it is his delicate kabinetts and spatleses that steal the show in terms of drinkability this year:these crisp, light wines were certainly not the norm in this region in 2005. While the ausleses are deeper and richer, I nonetheless prefer his more succulent rieslings, which are still marked by a graceful acidity.
