  Really nice - a bit rounder and fuller than haart's mosel wines.
  
  Somewhat closed now - gentle tropical fruits, white peach, white flowers, stone

  Acid Compass #4-Ft Vom Boden wines (and friends) with Jon Ritchie (E&R Wines, Portland OR): There is a noticeable and fresh hit of tropical citrus right away that leans into fresh tones of green apples, banana leaf, white flowers, lemon zest, flinty notes, white peaches, crushed rocks, and saline. There is good depth with a real open-knit style that keeps bringing you back to the glass. The Medium bodied feel is light on its feet while the tart, high acidity has some good cut. This is really fun and in a bit of a rambunctious phase right now. I love the immediacy of it right now as it is very much like a big puppy dog. But, a few years can let this calm down just a bit and show off even more of an expressiveness than it already does.

  12.5% abv. AP 19. SUM: on this date in 2024, it's important to thoroughly aerate this 2022 unless you have a taste for lees, esters, cheese, and so forth. I enjoyed observing all of that shed, leaving a pure-hearted object, of brisk pear, tea birch, sour gravel, and apple blossom. Top heavy? I won't dispute it, but I wonder if that means missing its rushing subterranean root nutrient. Acid freaks can move along. There's a crucial doughy element in its resolution. Great lithic transparency belies all that. (see Grizzlywine for confirmed flavor insights.)

  First release from Keller's plot in the Rheinhessen.
  
  Quiet and subtle nose, mountain stream, white flowers, and sliced yellow peach. High acidity, dry, and a little waxy, it perks up around cellar temp. Mineral focused from the start to a medium finish, bitter citrus accents the mid palate. Missing the characteristic vibrant fruit that I generally find in both Keller and Haart wines, but very good.
