10 years after Riesling tasting - 2012 (Restaurant Holz und Feuer, Kirchheim, Germany): Glass: Sophienwald Universal Perfect bottle, bought at release. Double decanted about 8h before. Clear, pale golden color. Very muted nose, not showing much. On the palate a beautiful wine, but compared to the Wittmann he completely lost in every way. Lacks the tension and energy I usually admire in this wine. Probably this wine needs a decade to develop. It certainly has all the components. But today it was simply a disappointment on a very high level. 92 (++)

A small pour generously offered by diners at the next table. Medium yellow. Medium weight, glycerine, and dry. Botanical herbs and citrus zest. Long and harmonious.

Had this wine with The Little Horse. It is still a young wine, probably need another 3-5 years to open up. We decanted the wine throughout our 3-hour lunch, and the wine certainly opens up a lot better in later stage. Compare to other Keller’s GG vineyards wines we had recently, I prefer Keller’s abtserde over Morstein. Morstein to me is much more richer on both nose and palate, while Abtserde is lot more mineral and elegant.

Blind im Glas - enttäuschend. Unharmonisch, fast künstlich und quietschig.

Ingo's Birthday Clash 20.10.2018; 10/21/2018-10/22/2018 (Jörg Müller Sylt): Passionfruit and mango are dominating so I would guess probably Keller but never Morstein. Too foregrounded and fruit influenced. For me less powerful than Abtserde and not so much density. 94
