Tasting Notes

(Keller Westhofener Brunnenhäuschen Abts E® Riesling Trocken GG) AP: 26 19. The 2018er Abts E®, as it is referred to on the consumer label, comes from the Abtserde (hence the “Abts E®” play on word), which is a prime sector of the Westhofener Brunnenhäuschen vineyard. It proves still on the reductive and primary side as scents of grilled citrus, grapefruit and herbs dominate the nose at first. After some airing, more refined and fruitier notes of orange blossom, lime, Indian spices, tangerine and yellow peach join the party. The wine still proves on the herbal and fresh side on the palate, and leaves a primary sense of tartness in the hugely long and herbal finish. The after-taste shows is both intense and sharp. This is clearly classic stuff in the making, but one that will need a solid decade to fully blossom. 2033-2048
