  10 years after Riesling tasting - 2013 (Restaurant Holz und Feuer, Kirchheim, Germany): Glass: Sophienwald Universal
  Tasted blind. Very dense, young and fresh. More body than Mosel Kabinett, very good balance and harmony. Will gain more complexity with time. 92++

  Flott kabinett på den unge siden. Reduktiv og forholdsvis lukket ved åpning. La ligge, eller la den få mange timer med luft - og du vil bli belønnet. Super match mot kamskjell ceviche med chili. Keller kan mer enn å lage GG.

  Blek stråfarget. Drukket over 2,5 timer. Ung, kunne ha vært flasket i går. Reduktiv fra start. Åpner seg med luft, men forblir nokså tight. Siste glasset er best. Lyse aromaer av grønn melon, grønne epler, pærer og petrichor. Så krystallklar og transparent som bare Keller kan være. Utrolig fokusert også i munn. Så krisp; den svake sødmen nærmest drukner i den potente syren. Medium pluss lang frisk finish. Fantastisk Kabinett. La denne ligge 5-10 år til hvis du har den og klarer å vente.

  The nose on this is fucking incredible. It's hard to put into words, but had both of us wondering if this is what might happen if Roulot made a Riesling. It has the same lightly reductive and intensely mineral scent that I've found in Roulot's white Burgs, but combined with the bright fruit and florality of Riesling. The palate is just as impressive - remarkably light and just barely off dry, yet packed with bright citrus fruit and minerality, and finishing with amazing length. This is one of the most compelling and thrilling young Rieslings I've ever had, and now I'm wondering whether to just open more or let most of mine age.

  More wines with Salil (Chicago, IL): #20-17, 9% abv. The problem, so to speak, with this wine is that it's not exactly a standard riesling kabinett. The nose is more white Burgundy than it is riesling, with that flinty, Roulot-like matchstick aroma. Beside that, however, is an exotic mix of citrus peel, tart tropical fruit, lemongrass, and some other less distinctly identifiable green herbs. The palate certainly feels a lot more like riesling, with just a hint of sweetness. My initial impression from this was one of prädikat creep, but that was just misdirection caused by the sheer amount of fruit in this wine (in fact, the Keller wines are dryer than they seem, mostly because of all that sneaky fruit). Heaps of intense minerality and acidity with incredible laser-like focus. This is fantastic riesling, if slightly atypical.
