Klaus Peter Keller Riesling Morstein GG 2011

Galloni: Stately aromas of ripe apricot, dried herbs and smoke. The creamy, full-bodied texture and expansive flavors are held in balance by a discreet acid structure that will allow the wine to evolve gracefully. Shows a note of smoked almond and persistent spiciness on the finish. Give this wine another five years in the cellar. 92+/100

Parker: Lime, apple, and grapefruit with a strong influence of their skins and pips renders Keller's 2011 Westhofener Morstein Riesling Grosses Gewachs a remarkably pithy and piquant mouthful. Density and sheer persistence this also has in spades - it's almost muscle-bound - but I'll be very interested to see whether it picks up refinement, differentiation and, for want of a better word (one Keller himself favors), elegance over the course of coming decade. There is an austerely stony undertone to this entire performance; and one that didn't dissipate in a bottle that had been opened for a day. 91/100
