2001 Weingut
Keller Dalsheimer Hubacker Riesling Auslese *** Goldkapsel

BY NEAL MARTIN |&nbsp;JANUARY 09, 2023Klaus-Peter
Keller’s wines have become collector catnip in recent years, with prices to
match. It seems a long time since I made my only visit to the estate. In 2022,
I was fortunate to taste several recent vintages and almost forgot this mature
gem.<img alt="" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.vinous.com/uploads%2F1673031594723-keller+2001_copy.jpg">This
bottle of 2001 Dalsheimer Hubacker Riesling Auslese *** Goldkapsel completes
a spectacular private dinner in suitable fashion. Limpid in colour, the bouquet
is almost transcendental with copious scents of quince and Clementine, melting
candle wax and honeysuckle. Fabulous delineation. The palate does not
disappoint with acidity as sharp as a Samurai sword, breath-taking purity and
almost overwhelming intensity. With notes of citrus peel, pineapple and mandarin,
this is a Riesling plugged into the mainline electricity. It feels like it is
reaching its lofty peak now, but God knows how many years it will continue to
thrive. Stellar. 98/Drink 2023-2055. <div></div>© 2023, Vinous. No portion of this article may be copied, shared or re-distributed without prior consent from Vinous. Doing so is not only a violation of our copyright, but also threatens the survival of independent wine criticism.
