Keller, Westhofener Kirchspiel Riesling Kabinett Size:6x750ml

Keller, Westhofener Kirchspiel Riesling Kabinett Size:6x750mlThis is the first time since 2004 that they have bottled a Kabinett under the single vineyard Kirchspiel name. Old vines. RS 41 g l. Cask sample. A little deeper and less exotic than the Limestone Kabinett but still intensely aromatic, peach and apricot and then more exotic as it opens. Fuller and more intense in the mouth, still with that crackling dry acidity. Reminds me of a May garden like the one I am sitting in right now. Honeysuckle. And

This is probably approachable in regular bottle but it’s clear that a few more years of cellaring will be necessary in magnum

This streamlined performance is reinforced by dry tannins

probably to be bottled as Marie Beurrier) Very fresh

game and soft earth nuances

as you see the nuances that each place provides to the wines

deep and concentrated

plum and violet aromas merges seamlessly into vibrant

Not the most generous fleshy wine at the moment

The finish is mineral

Last tasted

it is dazzling

the 2015 offers notable energy to balance the bold flavors of the year
