This is one of the big boy cuvées out of the GG lineup. Powerful intensity paired with classic elegance. Sometimes I feel these wines should be consumed in silence with zero food. But who are we kidding. Let’s get some crispy shrimp and some light sichuan salads. Those mouth sensations are what life is about. With Madi and Cerasulo at Bistro Nas. — 9 days ago

Instantly recognisable on the nose as Keller but slightly lighter...a little bit of fresh wood. Insane concentration of tropical fruits and herbs. The finish of salted caramel goes on for minutes. A legendary wine that was served to the queen to commemorate the 60th coronation anniversary. Happy new year! — a month ago

Vegas with Cerasulo. Drinking a GMax is a special thing and you need to plan your night accordingly. Expect to let it breathe for many hours while checking in to find that perfect moment. ‘17 is def more shy than the older vintages. Took many hours to express itself properly. — 2 months ago

One of the few perfect 10 rated bottles I’ve ever experienced. This is in the zone. Where as the 09 was more well rounded out and mellow, the 11 was one fire! Enticing petrol nose, balanced KP richness and minerality. Nothing is like this expression. Drank over 3 hours and the final glass was emotional. 🔥. With Madi and Thai fried chicken. — 9 days ago

I prefer Kellers Rieslings but this is pretty powerful, too. Maybe call a feinherb on a blind. — a month ago

Definitely a little more open than the first bottle this year. A gift lugged back from Germany about four months back, and opened some four hours before dinner to breathe. A touch of petrol on the nose when it was first poured out on the table, but that quickly blew away with subsequent pours and by the last pour, the wine was simply bonkers! Like the ocean - so broad, deep, and immensely saline. While second to minerality, the fruit concentration was no laughing matter too. For me, WOTN on it’s own but it was perhaps a little too overpowering for the fried pipefish which elevated the 19’ Dauvissat La Forest to another plane on this evening. — 2 months ago

Lime blossom, flint, mineral, dry extract, searing acid, lots of material here. Calms down and a bit more open on night #2, but this could definitely use some time sideways 🍋⚡️🤤 — 20 days ago

This was fantastic. Distinct orange peel note. Slightly different profile than last year's bottle. Dan's for New Year's #1. — a month ago

Essentially, a declassified Grand Cru, made with grapes from the Kirchspiel GG Grosses Gewächs in Westhofen (at 11 g/liter, the wine’s residual sugar levels in 2016 exceeded the VDP 9g/l maximum, so the wine couldn’t carry the GG label). The nose is complex and explosively fruity, with aromas of citrus, passion fruit and minerals and hints of petrol. While this is certainly ripe and rich, there is still plenty of acidity to buffer the modest residual sugar in question. Elegant, lively — 2 months ago
