(WA92-93 points) Tasted as a barrel sample, the 2015 Bürgel Spätburgunder GG offers a lovely, clear, fresh, sour-cherry aroma on the pure and very well-focused nose. This wine is sourced from a protected, south-facing cru with clayey limestone soils, and yielded 32 hectoliters per hectare. It fermented for 19 days (just one punch down per day) and is raised in used Burgundian pièces (second and third passage), scheduled to be bottled in September. The full-bodied, yet also light or lifted wine is round, intense and fruity. However, it is also tightly-woven, very clear, pure and fresh on the palate, pairing ripe and concentrated cherry flavors with grip and a stimulating freshness in the finish. This is the purest, freshest and tightest Bürgel that Keller has ever made. I just love it. - Stephan Reinhardt
