  blind vs Keller Kirchspiel 2017
  Surprisingly the big winner was Wittmann. Great precision ans salinity. The Keller was broader and with less length in the finish. 96

  A bit to ripe for a 2017, not in meaning of aging but from the aspect of ripe fruits. It could be a warmer year than 2017. Yellow stone fruits as apricot and peaches. 92

  Eine Riesling-Nase wie aus dem Bilderbuch, sehr floral und mit ungemein verführerischer Frucht, Limette, Pfirsich, feine Würze, Ingwer, steinige Noten, eine Schnupperdelikatesse ist das. Im Auftakt gradlinig und kräftig, ausgezeichnete Balance aus Säure, Frucht und Alkohol, nichts überwiegt, alles ist an seinem Platz, der Wein hat Frische, Finesse und dennoch viel Druck, baut am mittleren Gaumen aus, hat Gripp und Rasse. Im Abgang mit viel Länge und deutlichen Pfirisichnoten im Retrofinale. Aktuell gut antrinkbar, mit Reserven für sicherlich 10 Jahre. 94 vvPunkte

  Limpid lemony color, fantastic purity of peach and lime fruit with mineral notes. Refresing and with nice long aftertaste. I love these dry Rieslings!

  Really pretty scents of limes, peaches, rocks and some orange blossom. Acid is screaming high, with no hint of discernible residual sugar. After the initial pucker, there are some flavours of citrus, under ripe peaches and lemongrass. A tad abusive right now, I think it’s best days are 3-5 years away. I like acidic wines but oh boy is this one sharp if not a bit unbalanced.
