Crisp, fresh & tart on the nose with fresh cut hay, herby notes, (under)ripe lemons and a cold, steely very Rheingau core underneath.
On the palate this a fuller, riper mouthfeel, with a hint of creaminess and ripe fruit. Lemon curd, lemon sorbet, a hint of underripe mango, some white peach. A nice juicy, if not overly long, finish.
Nice drinking and has enough weight & structure but not the depth or precision you’d expect from GG level.
Edit: Day 2 with half a bottle left from yesterday. A nice waxy, lanolin character evolved. Seems more serious and complete. 0.1pts up — 5 years ago

Super dark rich color - a lil tannic — I want to eat braised short ribs with this - also again a great salinity- so maybe something with anchovies — 7 years ago
1985 Weissenheimer Goldberg Scherebe Eiswein Weingut Willi u. Klaus Langenwalter - rich apricot pie aroma, rich texture, sweet fruit finish. Perfectly aged. Great with lemon meringue pie. — 8 years ago
Good bit of petrol on the nose. Not quit as rich as I would have imagined. Plenty of fruit left. Drinking really lovely. Oh Lotus of Siam, how I cannot wait to be back! — 10 years ago

There are some times when the only thing that will suffice is one of the world’s greatest Rieslings. Klaus-Peter Keller @kellerdalsheim is, in my mind, the undisputed master of the Rheinhessen region of Germany. The Keller family has been making wine for 10 generations, and the oldest parcel of Riesling they have has been handed down within the family since 1789. Keller, who apprenticed in Burgundy before studying enology at Geisenheim told me that he looks for “playful elegance” in wine. He wants it to dance on the palate. And I’ve never had a bottle of his wine that hasn’t made ME want to dance. This one marries lemon pith and lemon oil with Asian pear and mandarine orange peel. But all of these flavors are perceived through a quartz-like minerality that evokes the feeling of licking an icicle or exploring a glacial cave. Stunning clarity and incredible acidity makes for a profound glass of mostly-dry Riesling. — 5 years ago
This demi-sec spatlese is intensely fruity with roast apricot and peach notes. Notable spritz and slight petrol note. Delightful. — 7 years ago

My first Morstein experience from Klaus-Peter Keller. A lot of yellow fruit upfront so we decant it for 2 hours. Then you get more & more spicy and tobacco notes. A massive, deep wine with a lot of punch but also always a certain elegance. Typical for the Morstein site where the Soil is thicker. Gets better & better in the glass. Lovely salty component on the long finish. Much potential left. Just give it 5 more years in the cellar. — 10 years ago

Oh the glories of a well-made Silvaner! And you don’t get much better made than Klaus-Peter! @kellerdalsheim. This wine was ringing like a struck bell with honeysuckle, orange blossom water and the crackling minerality of icicles dripping in the sunlight. Pure and energetic and totally satisfying. — 5 years ago
2nd time. Liked it as much as first time. Delicate but well balanced. Nice acidity and robust dark fruit. 13% al. — 6 years ago
Great concentrated taste, salinity that is balanced and makes you want to eat and drink more!!! Myrtleberry — 7 years ago
This wine is so intense in its youth but with age has both mellowed out and developed a layered complexity and expansiveness on the palate. I’d give a slight nod to the Prager Klaus from the same year but this is among the greatest Austrian Rieslings I’ve tasted — 8 years ago
