100 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "Keller's extremely rare and mysterious 2019 Riesling G-Max displays an intense lemon-yellow color and opens fascinatingly deep, pure, refined and highly complex on the stony, intense and concentrated nose. The palate is a continuation of the nose and reveals beautifully balanced, seamlessly silky-textured richness and mouth-salivating salinity. Sourced from the oldest vines of the family domain, this is the greatest wine I have had from Keller and one of the finest 2018s I have tasted. Drink: 2021-2060. (Apr 2021)"
100 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "EKlaus-Peter Keller’s 2019 G-Max is a magically refined and precise wine, which of course, is nothing new for this iconic bottling. The wine is a tad riper than the other Grosses Gewächs in the Keller lineup in 2019, coming in listed at thirteen percent octane. It offers up a young, pure and stunning bouquet of pink grapefruit, green apple, a touch of tangerine, kaleidoscopic limestone minerality, beeswax, gentle notes of wild yeast, wild flowers, lemon blossoms and a discreet topnote of orange zest. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and youthful, with a rock solid core of fruit, a riptide of mineral undertow, snappy, buried acids and laser-like focus on the , very, very long, brilliantly complex, seamless and electric finish. I have been fortunate to taste most of the young vintages of G-Max and I cannot recall any that were superior to the 2019! But, this is a very young wine and it would be criminal to even think of opening up a bottle before this wine is twenty years of age! 2039-2100. (Jan/Feb 2021)"
100 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "The perfect introduction to the greatness of the dry rieslings of the Wonnegau sub-region of Rheinhessen. An entire spectrum of yellow fruit, ripe and rich, yet delicate and cool, this has seamless harmony that's very hard to resist. The enormous depth only shows itself at the spectacular, crescendo finish, but even there it's dazzling, bright and clean. Limited production. Drink or hold. (8/16/20)"
