  Beautiful nose with lemon, apple, peach, and chalk flavors. High acidity on the palate with more lemon and lemon zest notes, green apple, tart peach, and lots of minerals. Long finish. Wow, this was really excellent! A classic Riesling nose with lots of complexity and while it's still very young it's already very enjoyable, even though it might only show a portion of what's to come. 96++

  Tried this at the beginning and end of the evening, and it significantly improved with air. That is not to say it wasn't lovely when just opened, quite some notes of ripe fruit and feeling a bit tight, but still with good acidity and white flowers. At the end of the night, this was much more supple and elegant, with more or less the same profile. If you want to drink this now, I recommend giving it plenty of air!

  Lime skin, citrus pith, white quartz, honeydew rind, and hints of sea spray notes make for an accessible enough delivery of flavor, but with a limited and primary execution overall; everything here currently signals a youthful posture, but there is enough medium+ bodied stuffing to exhibit its alluring electricity and energy. Finishes linear but not without a little fruit and fun on the back end. Focused and balanced. Not exceptionally powerful, but solid all the way through.
  
  A wine to hold for another 5-7+ years.

  Citrus, petroleum, , a little grapefruit,apricots and some delicate herbs in a well balanced and perfect package.
  
  High acidity ans structure. A bit too young but so difficult to wait

  Saturday hangout at Domaine (Chicago, IL): Fantastic, opulent, fruit-forward riesling that drinks quite a bit like Keller, but not as oily and concentrated. Still a very rich and powerful wine with lots going on. More expressive than the 2020 Emrich Halenberg today, and for that reason more enjoyable today.
