Sehr kräftiges Gelb. Reiffruchtige Nase, exotische Früchte, Pfirsich, Apfel, Gewürze, ein Hauch von Graham Masala, top komplex. Im Gaumen mit sensationeller Dichte, üppige, reife Frucht, von einer gut verpackten Säure getragen, viel Würze hier, viel Power, dennoch bleibt der Wein elegant. Im Abgang salin, langanhaltend, mit reifer Zitrusfrucht im Rückaroma. Top Qualität, zweifelsohne, auf der opulenten Seite des Lebens.

more linear and driven in its core. More about the minerality and coiled up energy inside opposed to the in your face profile. Incredible suave and long.

blind, opened 1 day before Very concentrated, it is so powerful that you are sometimes reminded to a Burgundy, the nose is more typical Riesling. Great wine for 2011. 95

A fun trio of 2009, 2010, and 2011. All three consumed leisurely over a few hours. The 2009 was sexy, rich and ultimately WOTF for most of us. A great vintage. The 2010 took quite a while to open up, but really blossomed. Likely still a lot in reserve for this vintage. In the 2011 grapefruit was the dominant word from all of us. Very good, but 3rd of the flight for most of us, and a step below the others. Maybe the bottle?

Two cases of Keller Grosse Lagen 2012 plus X (Concept Riesling Düsseldorf): Similar to 2012. Today I would prefer the younger one. Not so broad as many other wines of this vintage but not the concentration of 12 and 13. My favorite wines from this vintage at this stage are Kirchspiel from Keller and Schäfer-Fröhlich Felseneck. 94(95)
