Keller’s 2010’s are simply magical and my favorite site, Abtserde, was perfect tonight, stunningly aromatic and ultra complex with amazing weight and texture and racy acids driving everything home. Incredible wine.

The purity, fruit, acidity and graceful balance is to die for! Still fresh and youthful, this will still gain extra weight in the next few years.

Magnificent and graceful, this is my favourite vintage of Absterde (so far). Complex stone fruit flavors, true minerality and lofty acidity bringing tart citrus and grapefruit additions to the lengthy, sleek yet intense finish. Just beautiful!

Sweet white fruit on the nose, intensely mineral and bone dry. How's he do it, folks??

The essence of Riesling in its most profound and complex way, highlighting melting ice, white peach, tart lemon flavors with wonderful, floral additions. Endless finish. 97/100 p.

Way too young, but like drinking melting ice spiced with green, tart apples and lime zest. Needs more time.

I think it’s been 2+ years since the last bottle of this and this may truly be one of the best white wines I’ve had. Decanted as I did last time for 2 hours, better as the time increased. An amber honey color in the glass. With the time tropical fruit emerges from the glass; at first it’s much more tightly wound with mostly intense minerality and acid. Just an overridingly beautiful wine with an excellent acid and a perfect long finish. Great pairing with some big prawns with a deep herb sauce.

Beautiful and pure riesling nose. What a minerality and length. Keller is the true master of today’s dry German Rieslings. Unbeatable.
