Keller, Westhofener Morstein Riesling Auslese Brut Zero Spice-tinged black raspberry and cherry

Spice-tinged black raspberry and cherry aromas are complicated by suggestions of cola

where we drank several incredible 1966 Bordeaux (the standout being Cheval Blanc 1966 that could easily have featured here)

There is more here compared to the villages but it’s not quite as well balanced

one located in the premier cru Les Plantes

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

Keller, Westhofener Morstein Riesling Auslese Brut Zero Spice-tinged black raspberry and cherryNo 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)
