On first opening a touch awkward, hint of spritz? After swirling/rest much better focus, no hint of spritz. Some alluring floral/citrus notes overlaying a stony background on the nose. Acidity jumps out on the palate followed by a massive mineral body. An impressive wine that doesn't quite fit together.

BYO (Michaels place): Dense fruit, orange rind, refined and a lovely acidity. Clear impression of botrytis and candied orange peel. Dry and with a piercing acidity. Lovely wine.

Winespecials Wine Evening (Restaurant Holz und Feuer, Kirchheim, Germany): Glass: Gabriel Universal Popped and poured. Clear, medium golden color with an amber hue. Clean, ripe, developing nose, some buttery notes, botrytis. Hmm, had this better and more expressive before. On the palate you can feel Keller’s signature of Hubacker, but this bottle showed more than all bottles I had before the complicated vintage. Or it might be a not optimal bottle. As always a wonderful salty mineral core, depth and tension. Hubacker typical a bit broader and muscular. But also very ripe, buttery and driven by botrytis flavors. Good length. This particular bottle was at its full peak or slightly past peak. 90-91

Back to Riesling Country 2.0; 6/17/2022-6/21/2022 (Flörsheim-Dalsheim, Bad Kreuznach, Niederhausen, Oberhausen, Bad Sobernheim , Bockenau): One sip, brief note:
rosy nose and palate, a very warm vintage, more quite sweet tropical fruit than the other samples, lively still, but the oily, creamy fruit is too much for me here, would recommend, drink up!

stunning vertical, this is a real great customers treatment,
many thanks to the Keller family!

Pepper on the nose. Strawy creamyness. Lovely balance of richness and freshness
