Keller Riesling Westhofener Morstein Grosses Gewächs 2013

98 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "As I noted last year, there is a little bit more Morstein in the Keller cellars these days, as Klaus-Peter and Julia purchased an additional parcel of Morstein planted with sixty year-old vines to augment their previous holdings (in addition to the old vine section that was budded over to Pinot Noir from Silvaner), and more Morstein GG in 2013 is a very, very good thing indeed! The 2013 is a stunningly beautiful wine in the making, offering up a magical bouquet of citrus zest, tangerine, an exotic hint of strawberry, crystalline limestone minerality, wild yeasts, gentle notes of petrol and a topnote of orange peel. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure and focused, with kaleidoscopic complexity, a great core, again, very ripe and very racy acidity and a very, very long, impeccably balanced and utterly brilliant finish. Breathtakingly beautiful young Morstein! 2022-2075. (Mar/Apr 2014)"

19/20 points Michael Schmidt (JancisRobinson.com): "I do not know whether Klaus Peter Keller will view this as an insult or a compliment, but to my personal perception the 2013 Morstein has turned out very burgundian in style. The high extract indicates that grapes were once again picked very late, but this high-risk policy has been handsomely rewarded with a velvety texture, great substance and generous body. Of course the cool minerality and fresh juicy fruit are there as ever, but also a sound herbaceous note which I tend to associate with spontaneous fermentation. Almost more powerful in its expression than in preceding years, but with perfect structure. Drinking Window: 2014-2025. (9/21/14)"
