  OK, I admit it's unfair of me to keep posting tasting notes on a wine which seemingly only I own - BUT: dammit this is good. Dark Orange colour, intense viscosity on entry, then a huge hit of acidity leaves not a trace of heaviness/sugar/cloying-ness, in fact it makes your mouth water. Lovely notes of apricot, orange blossom run through this: but really the scale is monumental - you can find whatever you like in this. When the richness of the attack and the acidity of the finish come together in a decade - this will likely be in the 100+/100 zone.

  Wow. Still phenomenally intense: deep, deep yellow/orange, terrific intensity, very Keller. Alongside Donnhoff's 98 Esiwein shows as maybe a little thick, not quite cloying but not the livewire balancing act between sweet/acid it was last bottle. Will last forever and get better.

  Mind Blowing. Unreal levels of richness, intensity and acid, yet still very "Keller" and still obviously Riesling from the Hubacker site, just with the volume turned up to 11. Wow. Phenominal dessert wine and right up there with Yquem 01 in the pantheon of "wines you should kill to drink". Unmissable.
