Vinous

Rowan, iris, basil, mint, apple and white peach combine for an irresistibly enticing aromatic display, high-toned and penetrating as if from a distillate. The inner-mouth impression is glossy, liqueur-like in its sense of herbal, floral and fruit concentration, with coriander seed and orange rind contributing to a gin-like impression. The finish projects an almost electric vibrancy as well as a smoky aura to accompany its reverberating reprise of the flavors that went before. This vividly illustrates Keller’s ideal of a dry Riesling whose remarkable sheer intensity and “inner density” is nevertheless unincumbered by weight – quite the contrary – and entirely consistent with a projection of nuanced complexity. As it takes on air, the wine becomes that much more expressive, suggesting the thrills that await with further bottle age. (Though I certainly couldn’t reconcile its irresistibility today with a “drinking window” that doesn’t begin for years. It’s only circumstances extrinsic to the wine itself – like the effort you will have gone to if you manage to secure even one bottle! – that will no doubt leave you determined to cellar it.)
