Served next to 2010 Abts E. The 2017 Abts E is a super intense and grippy Riesling. Lean, acid driven and very austere, at this point in time not very well balanced, with overwhelming acidity. Typical Keller nose of nectar, citrus fruit, vanilla powder, pineapple, mashed pears and crushed chalk. Palate is only stone, sea shell, salt and sour lemon/grape. I've left this as NR, as I've had great aged examples, but it's quite difficult to drink at the moment.

瓶醒2小时30分左右,香气复杂而清新,外周刚柔并济,石灰矿物和金属感铿锵、烟熏缭绕,而花香曼妙,橙花、柠檬花、紫罗兰和金银花等,近乎香水质感,花香似花纹,篆刻外周铠甲之上,内含果味,澄透而纯净,水蜜桃、黄桃、日本柚子、黄柠檬、香水柠檬、柠檬奶昔乃至轻微樱桃罐头等,带着清凉的薄荷、迷迭香和欧芹等新鲜香草,收尾一丝奶糖味,各种香气各从其位。
口感酸度高而紧致,微咸,酸度颀长,贴着口腔,划过曲线,细密的干浸出物层层叠叠,厚而有“弹性”,又显轻盈,外周同石灰矿物合谋,果味于是穿上一层有着细绒内衬的铠甲,带来很好的张力、结构感和俊秀的体态。果味充沛多汁,黄柠檬、柚子、橘子汁、酸樱桃、青苹果等果味清透有力,随着醒酒会更加舒展,新鲜的香草带着轻微茉莉,行进深处,长度很长,铿锵坚定。95-96/100

Superb potential but too young right now. It’s structured and austere but with herbal notes right now. Revisit in 5 years ?

Exotic fruit bowl ! Great structure and finish. Good acidic balance. A joy to drink. For me ready to drink but no rush
