Keller, Westhofener Morstein Riesling Auslese Brut Zero With a bit of aeration

With a bit of aeration

This is a focused effort that exhibits controlled power and a lovely sense of underlying tension

which may have also manifested itself with concentrated tannins

Note that my rating assumes that the nose will clean up as the sulfur and wood are absorbed

tobacco and baking spices

Keller, Westhofener Morstein Riesling Auslese Brut Zero With a bit of aerationNo botrytis. TA 12. 5 g l, RS 120 g l. Great site but younger vines than in the TBA. Much more smoky than the AbtsE Auslese. More complex and herbal on the nose, almost a little savoury, but still has intense, ripe citrus purity on the palate. Tastes much sweeter on the palate than the AbtsE, more sweet sour. Orange and apricot flavours go on and on. Far more fruit intensity on the palate than I expected from the nose. (JH)
