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

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

Loibner Loibenberg Smaragd Riesling 2001

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

Morstein Riesling 2009

9.4

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

von der Fels Rheinhessen Riesling 2015

Alder Yarrow
9.5

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

Belford Single Vineyard Hunter Sémillon 1998

Had it April 2010.
Straw yellow colour.
Toasty nose, lanolin, also toasted corn or rice , like some of those snacks. Hints of honey. Kaiser pear, passion fruit, basil, gunpowder, sulphur, lime, green apple.
Mouth still full of freshness, chalky, macadamia biscuits, peanut butter, wax and all there was in scents is there in your palate. Somehow it reminds you of a Mersault, but it has never touched any wood. Passion fruit drives the game, it is long and enjoyable. Many years ahead, but how better it can get? It opens even more with notes of yeast like an old champagne.
10% in alcohol.

Großes Gewächs Johannisberger Klaus Riesling 2016

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

Reserve Kaiser Vineyard Chardonnay 2013

When you hike in the Finger Lakes, you can easily think you're in Burgundy or Alsace. The topography is very close and the climate is just a little more continental. So the choice of grape varieties follows naturally. Pear, apple, and a little pineapple fruit come across in this wine. It has some stony and steely minerality, but less than typical for this region. There's a lot of vanilla and butter, with smoke and oak. These latter elements are too strong in my opinion. And the acidity is a little too weak. If that and the fruit were stronger this would be on par with Chablis. So it's a little off balance. But I enjoyed it very much with a salmon salad. — 10 years ago
