The Guntrum Oppenheimer Sacktrager Riesling TBA 1992 emanates regality. This exquisite wine is a product of the distinguished Guntrum family winery, renowned for over four centuries of viticulture in Germany's esteemed Rheinhessen region. This Trockenbeerenauslese ('TBA') pick, harvested in 1992, is a testament to the family's unrelenting pursuit of quality. It's made from 100% Riesling grapes, meticulously selected for their noble rot-infested, almost raisin-like state. The outcome is a wine of remarkable sweetness, tempered by a vibrant acuity. The Guntrum Oppenheimer Sacktrager Riesling TBA 1992 teases the palate with a veritable fruit salad of lush ripe peaches, honeyed apricots, and sultry tropical nuances, basking in the warm embrace of elegant honey and botrytis notes. With time, the layers of its complexity unfold, further enchanting the senses. A sip of this 'liquid gold' offers an intense yet balanced wine encounter, beholden to the fine Rieslings of Rheinhessen's fertile vineyards. |

Wine Advocate (96)Smoky, pungent, and animal evocations of peat, sweat, and musk oil mingle with scents of peach, Rainier cherry, and grapefruit on the nose of Keller’s 2009 Riesling G-Max, then saturate the palate in an enveloping manner impressively unlike that of the other dry Rieslings in his present collection. This is so richly-fruited and plush in texture, and its abundance of flavor registers as such an extract-rich infusion, that the contrast with the sense of transparency and vibrancy projected by the corresponding Abtserde could scarcely be more dramatic. Yet even so, this G-Max comes off as anything but weighty. Peaty smokiness; musky floral essences; crushed chalk; peach kernel and cherry pit piquancy, all impinge distinctively amid an otherwise seamlessly dense ocean of flavor whose finish both engulfs and buoys you. Eleven days (!) after having been opened for my initial tasting, contents of this same bottle of G-max were still full of vibratory energy. I imagine at least a 15 year run of glory for this remarkable Riesling. |

Wine Advocate (95)If anything, even more headily floral than its Abtserde sibling, Keller’s 2010 Riesling trocken G-Max evokes iris and peony along with intimations of ocean breeze and scents of ripe quince and peach. Here the strong mineral dimension is not only mouthwateringly saline but scallop-like in a savory, faintly sweet and iodine-tinged way that segues directly into custardy richness of white peach, quince paste and nut oils that engulf the palate and (as I see I already wrote about the 2009) you along with it. There is a serenity and soothing irresistibility to the finish that – like its almost opaque sense of density and richness – sharply distinguishes this from the transparency and kinetics of the Abtserde. What a treat it will be for those who can manage to follow this wine from bottle – hard enough to purchase in any year, let alone one where yields for this particular picking dropped to twelve hectoliters per hectare! – in parallel with its immediate siblings from bottle. I suspect there is at least a decade of profound pleasure here, but as one notices particularly in the case of G-Max, Keller has traveled such a distance stylistically and refined his game to such an extent that one ought not to take his Grosse Gewachse of 8-10 years ago as an indication of what lies in store for those of recent vintages. |

Vinous (95)Intriguing aromas of nectarine, nut oil and lemon zest, plus a touch of cinnamon. The succulent apricot fruit and textural richness are kept alive by a salty minerality that lingers tantalizingly on the finish. With perfect clarity and outstanding intensity, this is a show-stopper. One of finest dry rieslings of the vintage. |

Wine Advocate (92)Yellow plum with its pits, pungent parsnip, and grapefruit with pungent bitter-sweetness of zest mark the nose of Keller’s 2008 Westhofener Kirchspiel Riesling Grosses Gewachs, and then come to the palate juicy and invigorating yet texturally rich and silken; suffused with nut oils, crushed stone and savory salinity; and displaying lift and refreshment that would have caused me to guess 12% alcohol, a full percent less than this Riesling in fact harbors. This epitomizes the poise and near-delicacy as well as dynamic interplay of fruit and mineral that 2008 can deliver, but at the same time the sheer richness it can attain. I suspect this will be worth following for a dozen or more years. |

Vinous (92)Issuing solely from a parcel planted in 1964, this leads with Sauvignon-like pungency of mint and pennyroyal, allied to an anticipation of the apple and lime that brightly inform a silken-textured palate. The superbly sustained finish cools and refreshes in its amalgam of juicy, resinous green-herb- and chalk-infused fresh fruit. |
