  The nose features green apple, lemongrass and electric acidity.
  
  Much more resolved acidity on the palate, fine breadth and a long, nutty finish.

  Pre-Paulee Warm-up Dinner (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): In great 2012 Riesling flight. Opulent citrus and citrus peel with very good richness, just less complexity vs the Donnhoff or Trimbach. Still really wonderful, with further upside.

  Pre La Paulée Dinner with friends (Home): 12 Donnhoff GG/Keller/CsH horizontal. Each wine showed so darn well and this Keller was perhaps the most opulent and generous, but also the most simple. A great wine to be sure, but current valuations are stretching the limits of reason.

  #34-13, 12.5% abv. Pleasantly aromatic nose, with herbal tones and a distinct ripe pineapple note. The palate shows a bit of fruit-inflected sweetness, with again a mild tropical fruit note. Good acidity, but this feels a little angular in comparison to some of the more recent releases. Not too complex, this drinks quite nicely, but it certainly doesn't move the needle at the current market price.

  11/5/2022 - Michael Hung Likes this wine:

  Thai and Riesling Night: [Thai and Riesling Night - Nine Rieslings]
  From Magnum. Opened up at the beginning to allow a few hours of slow ox. Showing slightly backwards, potentially in an awkward phase (magnum showing). Med+ intensity of orchard and yellow fruit, stone fruit, citrus, limestone/minerality. This was missing a bit of concentration for me, but still carried good tension with its acid as well as balance. Finish was shorter than expected, will give it more time to open up. 91-92 tonight, but I brought it home to see if it changes.
  
  Day 2: Opened up a bit more, slightly sweeter and a small increment to the finish.
  Day 3: Started to stagnate and die a little, but showing the best fruit intensity today. Really difficult to predict the evolution of this bottle.
