  • Riesling bash at CHIKO (Chevy Chase, Maryland): Tangy, primary, but so energetic, lots to unpack from this well-wrapped package. Lime zest, ruby red grapefruit, kiwi, the fruit is mixed with complex minerals, smashed rocks and shells. Has lovely textural depth, balancing out the racy and laser-like focus, briskness, and minerality. A bit too young to fully parse through, especially in such an overwhelming setting, but wow this will be good for the long haul.

  • A standout dry riesling amongst dozens of rieslings in the room (and also delivered way more intrigue than its older sibling, an '07 Kirschpiel). The rocky mineral elements are strong in this one and the aroma in the glass is like sticking your nose into a basalt mine. The fruit per the usual Keller house style is pure, pale, and zesty but it's in a nice spot where it's still quite fresh but without the punishing acid attack of young Keller.

  • Opened at the Victuals in HK. Decanted and chilled and enjoyed over dinner.

    It's always a pleasure to convert Riesling-skeptic friends into Riesling fans. Keller once again shows its class, with a beguiling combination of floral notes, citrus fruits, hints of petrol backed by great acidity. Just a gorgeous GG, and the 2015 is in a very good spot right now.

    Can definitely stay at this level for a while, and may improve slightly with a bit of patience as well, judging by how much I have been enjoying the 2011 GGs recently. However, don't hesitate to drink up if you have these!

  • Light yellow gold with green tint. Lime, green apple, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, yellow peach, white flowers, oyster shell, honey and minerality. Hint of kerosene on the nose. High acidity and balanced. Edgy and good tension on the palate: A sip was like a cluster bomb exploding deep into my taste buds. Very long dry, astringent finish. Youthful and bright. This would last for decades in a proper cellar.

  • So very dense and concentrated yet bright, precise and energetic. Still somewhat primary though there is youthful complexities of mineral, citrus and spice. Very long.
