Call me crazy...Faint petrol, wet slate with smooshed cherry/strawberry! Whaaa where is that note coming from...on Riesling, Rhine!!!???

Update Day No. 8: Red fruits note was still going strong, and confirmed by three others, so my sanity is intact.

'Try to catch snowflakes on your tongue. It's fun. Mm. Needs sugar. It's too early. I never eat December snowflakes. I always wait until January. They sure look ripe to me. You think you're so smart with that blanket. What are you gonna do with it when you grow up? Maybe I'll make it into a sport coat.'

Waxy. Trocken-y.

What value. Layers of viscous stone fruit and laser acidity.

This night keeps getting better and better @RutherfordGrill with KELLER #Riesling!

Keller's modest "von der Fels" dry #Riesling proves that wines made from younger vines can be marvelous in the hands of a great winemaker.
