Wow, arresting, layered and intense aromas of orchard fruit, flint, mineral, slate and smoke. The palate has unreal concentration and pinpoint balance. Spectacular from start to finish. A treat to sip this over a few hours, with and without food.

blind Nose is typical Keller, my first thought was G-max, but because of the herbal notes I changed my mind to Pettenthal. Very dense in the beginning but in the finish a bit short compared to other big wines of Keller. In a nice stage at the moment. 2014 is not a superb vintage but everything is balanced. At least 10 more years. 95

A bit inscrutable. Detailed. A little quiet and savory tonight. There is a whiskey note. Like a lot of young G-max this is a shame to drink so young. Would love to revisit in 5-10 years.

Great wine, in decanter for almost 8 hours but needed more. Very good concentration and fruit. Really difficult to judge this early on. Waiting for the next until 2024.

Initially the 2014 G-Max shows a surprising herbal, almost sauvage, quality that evolves to show an appealing mix of melon and smokey mineral aromas. Pure energy on the palate, suave and sexy, with crisp acidity and a firm mineral underpinning. Very good.

This is open for business and quite charming. There were whiffs of nettle, smoke, sweet melons and slate. The palate is full and fruity with a steely spine. It has good balance and proportion and finishes cool and dry.

Fresh, young, Lime, less exotic fruits, not so concentrated as 15 and 16. But after 2011 you see a G-Max Style. The vintages before are extremly individual. But one is sure: the wines ripe extremly well Not one wine has reached his peak. Only 2006 should be drink in the closer future. 96+

SLDS Backups and Blowouts: Flamboyant nose of lemon, orange, wild florals, petrol, apricot and peach. Explosive palate, with unbelievable layers to it. The texture is just unreal, playing perfectly along with the fruit richness. Even with all the power and depth, there is still a lightness and freshness that gives this a sense of ultimate refinement. What a stunning wine.

Complete Vertical Tasting of Kellers's G-Max (Cordobar Berlin): you taste the ripe grapes, more balanced than 2013, a lot of tropical and exotic fruits as mango, passionfruit and melons, the finish is citric and refreshing, a gem with a lot of power 96-97

Quite young but really fantastic. I can't believe how expensive this wine has become.

Complete Vertical Tasting of Kellers's G-Max 2018 (Vendome Bergisch-Gladbach): Complete vertikal tasting of G-max 2001-2016 with Klaus Peter and Julia Keller in Vendome. Drank them semiblind. Just short cuts.
