Keller & Haart tasting (Concept Riesling, Düsseldorf, Germany): Lots of citrus fruit of course. The most elegant and refined wine in the lineup today, great purity, minerality and tension. Upon revisting an hour or two later it had developed a rather harsh saline taste that was akin to eating a spoonful of salt with a little Abts E dripped on it, probably just needs some time.

Opened at Batard in HK. P&P and enjoyed over lunch.
This was absolutely electric - akin to a tightly wound spring with incredible tension and energy. There was ample fruit: green apple, grapefruit, floral notes, backed by the distinctive Riesling petrol.
This just needs a bit more time to fully resolve itself. I'd revisit in 3+ years and cannot wait to see how this turns out. Definite upside, and Keller just seems to be getting better and better.

Birthday Dinner with Wine Legends (Oriole): Decanted briefly before serving. Lemon start with lemon curd, lime peel, mint, apple, and peach. So much density and richness, seemingly slightly backward, but with a precocious richness. Great now with further upside.

We had it before the 2019 (blind). Due to the vintage it is less precise and focused. Still herbal and with a lot of power. 93.

Holiday Champagne Gala (Park Ridge Country Club): Late night, small glass. So much citrus, citrus peel, orchard fruit layered with nearly tropical hints. So great now with further uspide.
