Last of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, maybe showing the broad qualities of full maturity, but beautifully fresh and focussed, no upside but no rush. F (17.5).

Keller Open Afterparty (Weingut Keller, Flörsheim-Dalsheim, Germany): On the fresher side for a Auslese from the Abtsberg this 1996 delivers a lot of white flowers, cassis and zesty flavors. Interesting to have directly after the rater bigger 1997 Spätlese. The more Grünhaus I have, the more I like the cold vintages. Nice showing.

9th of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, previous notes very good or better, took time to integrate and shed heightened acidity of vintage, pale, spritzy, fresh but harmonious, lovely tension and complexity, mature. (17.5).

10th of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, essentially as last note, if a tad darker and more mature, best drunk within next 5 years. F (17.5).
