Pretty rare bottling as basically all of the production is sold to the English Royal family. Beautifully balanced, off-dry and lengthy, offering classic stone fruit flavors and racy yet ripe acidity.

2011 Keller 'Niersteiner Hipping - R' Riesling off-dry, Rheinhessen, Germany...this is the Debut bottling of Keller, from a historic, steep and red slate site. Purchased from Franz Karl Schmitt, served at the coronation ceremony of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. This is a beautiful Riesling, technically medium-dry, but the rs content is barely noticeable. Intense aromas of ripe peaches and spiced quince. The fruit feels lush in the mouth (Spaetlese - level) without being heavy. Some stoney and smoky mineral undertones, adding complexity and tension..need to get more of this!!

Magnum. Incredibly well integrated pure fruit. Very very well made. Every 10 minutes is (ok the same) journey but with a different view. Loved it. Was 95 at the beginning and turned out over 97 quickly.

Deep color , concentrated, exotic, nicely phenolic. Sweetness balanced by perfect acidity. Easy to drink but has the depth and power to live for years!
