  Epic night with @Riaan and @Alastair🙏🙏🙏
  
  We started with this contribution of mine.
  
  Multiple detailed tasting notes from me exist already.
  
  Pure, racy, sweet apricot, long and young still!
  
  Dry Riesling can be different but can’t be better.
  
  Drink now - 2034
  
  💯

  From magnum. Again over dinner, no formal notes. Another absolutely glorious bottle, this time showing less evolution than last time. Great concentration of fruit, searing acidity, wonderful minerality - incredibly complex and all in near perfect harmony. So long and vibrant towards the finish. 95-97?

  Decanted (in a Voss btl) for ~2+hrs by the time we came to this... Served blinded, side-by-side a '17 Keller Morstein GG. Marvelous bouquet - nose of the evening in my humble opinion... with tropical fruits - pineapples, honey-mellon, nectarines, lemons blended with a slight tinge of kerosene. Wow, just marvelous! Unlike the '19 Kuhling Gillot Hipping GG, this was just as inviting on the nose as it was on the palate. Quite obviously, there was this gulf between the Keller & Emrich, vs. the Gillot. Both Keller & Emrich showed very well on the palate with the Keller showing more restrain & tension and the Emrich punchy, giving but balanced with just the right level of freshness & acidity that render it almost exemplary. Nobody guessed the age gulf/difference correctly, with most zooming in to a 3-5yrs difference (vs. the actual 8-yrs). This definitely still had legs, and it'd be wonderful to tast again sometime further down the road where the complexity should also be further dialed up a notch! Most delicious!

  Beautiful blind flight of three GGs from 2009. All wines showed great aromatic typicity around white flowers, petrol, minerals, cut hay and energetic, fresh palate with complex, long finishes. All were wonderful. The Emrich Schönleber Halenberg (97pt) had the edge for me with extreme complexity and precision on the palate, light on its feet without being thin. The Knoll Loibenberg Smaragd (94pt) was a touch richer with more stone fruit but without being heavy, well judged. The Keller Kirchspiel (95pt) was in the middle of the road, balanced, fresh with a generous palate. The winner of the table were debated between Keller and Emrich.
