Keller Riesling G-Max 2020

100 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "Every year, after I taste the dazzling twin towers of the Morstein and Abtserde from Klaus-Peter Keller, I always tell myself that there is simply no way that the G-Max can possibly be even better than those two wines, and every year, it somehow manages to just nose ahead of them at the finish line! The 2020 vintage of G-Max is utterly stunning, but it is going to be a serious long-distance runner and will not be ready to drink for at least another fifteen years. Given the rarity of this bottle, it is incumbent upon those lucky enough to secure a few bottles to not let curiosity get the best of them and open this wine when it is still too young for primetime drinking, as this wine is going to take its sweet time blossoming! The gorgeous bouquet offers up scents of pink grapefruit, tart orange, a very, very complex base of limestone minerality, just a hint of wild yeasts, lemongrass, white flowers and a touch of lime zest in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, deep and full-bodied, with a flawless sense of balance and grace, a rock solid core of fruit, brilliant minerality and grip, racy acids and laser-like focus on the very, very long and electric finish. 2037-2100. (Jan/Feb 2022)"

98 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Anything but dramatic, this impresses with great finesse and delicacy. Super-fine peachy fruit (white, yellow and red-fleshed) with a beautiful honeysuckle note. Very finely nuanced and extremely long, chalky finish. Drink or hold. (10/5/21)"
