Keller, Niersteiner Pettenthal Riesling BA, Rheinhessen

not blind A perfect expression for a Kabinett, far away from his peak. Filigree and enormously fresh. 95

Kurzprobe bei den Keller-Open, Probe im Pavillon: 93-94

blind, from Magnum Less than 10 bottles from this side were made, present from KPK for a birthday For a Kabi great balance but anyway a bit sweet for me. The low alcohol makes it easier and less concentrated in manner of residual sweetness. 93

Der Keller Kabinett H(ipping) 2013 Versteigerungswein ist ein phantastischer Vertreter seiner Zunft. Leicht, spielerisch, balanciert. Ich bin kein großer Freund, dieser Sparte, aber wenn es gelingt die Süße mit feiner Säure und Extrakt zu zähmen, kommt die Gier nach mehr. Viel zu jung dominieren die Fruchtaromen, aber diesmal mehr Zitrus als tropische Früchte. 94 Punkte.

I can't really understand the hype of the Kabinett style, too sweet, the balanced is not perfectly matched, missing the substance and a clear line, 90?

The Ultimative 1996 Champagne Tasting with Richard Juhlin (Behrens am Kai in Düsseldorf 1 star restaurant) : I'm not a big fan of Keller's Auslesen compared to his GG, good depth and balanced sweetness and acidity,but somehow not the balance I like in the dry ones

Jahrgangspräsentation 2013 (Weingut Keller, Flörsheim-Dalsheim) : Quite closed on the nose, high-toned, very elegant, extremely floral, linear, precise and intense, candied flowers, absolutely electric.
