Keller Riesling Westhofener Morstein GG 2009

96 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The Morstein was harvested on the same day as the Pettenthal, which was no small feat, as Westhofen and Nierstein are not exactly next door neighbors! The Pettenthal was harvested in the morning and the Morstein in the afternoon, and one can imagine that there was a pretty tired crew when that was finished. The 2009 Morstein Grosses Gewächs will be utterly magical, as it soars from the glass in a blaze of grapefruit, orange, gentle notes of petrol, wild yeasts, orange peel and a profoundly complex, almost zesty base of minerality. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very, very pure, with a rock solid core, perfect focus and balance and a very elegant, snappy and multi-faceted finish that is almost gem-like in its brilliance and precision. What a profound wine. 2018-2040. (Mar/Apr 2010)"

95 points Fine Wine Review: "The Morstein GG is from vines that are more than 50 years old, some on European rootstalks. The wine went through 16 hours of skin contact. Herbal aromas are followed in the mouth by peach fruit that is long and elegant and there is great finesse to this wine. 13.25% alcohol. (Issue #131; 2011)"

94 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 45 10. The 2009er Westhofener Morstein Trocken GG starts off on the shy side and only delivers some fleeting herbal and minty scents at first. These are then joined by some pink grapefruit, citrusy elements, mango and even a touch of honey. The wine proves rich, intensely fruit and even a touch sweet on the palate but gains in finesse and grip in the tart-sweet, intense yet nicely focused finish. This mighty expression of Morstein only shows its true colors after extensive airing. Now-2029. (Apr 2019)"
