Keller Riesling Niersteiner Pettenthal GL 2015

96+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): " I wish I had not lost my technical data on this wine, as I recall it being around fifteen grams per liter or so of residual sugar and north of ten grams per liter of acidity, but those details live on in some hotel room! I just remember being blown away by the sheer beauty of the balance of this wine and Klaus-Peter turning to me and saying “pretty cool John, ja?” So, left without the numbers, the words will have to suffice. The dazzling bouquet offers up the purest and most vibrant nose one can imagine, delivering notes of pink grapefruit, wild yeasts, orange blossoms, petrol, a stunning base of red slate minerality and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is very, very pure, medium-full and absolutely filigreed, with a superb core, great cut and grip and a very, very long, seamless and electric finish. A stunning beauty! 2020-2060. (Mar/Apr 2016)"

95 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Because this is slightly sweeter than the GGs for many German consumers, it will fall into a no man's land between dry and sweet, but for anyone open to the idea of a medium-dry riesling being a world-class wine, here is exactly that rare beast! Already with its pale, green-tinged straw color and a thousand tiny beads of carbon dioxide in the glass, this looks very different to the top dry rieslings from Keller. The bouquet confrims that spectacularly with effusive fresh-herb and wild-berry notes. On the palate there's a sensational interplay of delicate fruit and mineral acidity, and the finish is devastatingly flinty. (1/13/17)"
