A dreamy masterpiece for this very challenging vintage, with so many delicate floral nuances and citrus aromas (everything from lemon blossom to freshly grated zest). Medium-bodied with a very long, racy and pointed...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, March 2024

The 2014 Weingut Keller Riesling G Max is a distinguished white wine from the Rheinhessen region of Germany. This Riesling has garnered significant attention and acclaim from professional wine reviewers for its complexity, depth, and aromatic intensity.

David Schildknecht from Vinous gave this wine an impressive score of 95, noting its "surprisingly but by no means unpleasantly herbal and weedy aromatic intensity allied to peat-like smokiness, chalk dust and penetratingly high-toned suggestions of cassis and sloe berry distillate." He highlighted its expansive, subtly silky palate that balances lushness with brightness, mentioning that it nearly "explodes with mouth-shaking energy" on the finish.

John Gilman of View From The Cellar awarded the 2014 G-Max an outstanding score of 98+, describing it as adding "an extra dimension of complexity and exotic nuances to the nose and palate." He praised its "stunning bouquet" comprising tangerine, pink grapefruit, and a complex base of limestone minerality. Gilman emphasized the wine’s "pure, full-bodied" character, seamless balance, and "very, very long, nascently complex and supremely elegant finish," calling it a "great wine in the making."

Stephan Reinhardt from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate rated the wine 96, commending it for its "very subtle, fresh and precise aroma" influenced by limestone terroir, and noted herbal flavors like thyme. Reinhardt described the Riesling as "a power station in terms of energy," with a medium to full-bodied structure that is "full of drive and freshness," and showed "great purity and endless salinity with bright, juicy fruit aromas."

Finally, Stuart Pigott from James Suckling gave the wine a score of 97, referring to it as "a dreamy masterpiece for this very challenging vintage." Pigott was particularly impressed by the "so many delicate floral nuances and citrus aromas," and described its finish as "very long, racy and pointed."

Overall, the 2014 Weingut Keller Riesling G Max is a highly regarded Riesling that showcases a unique combination of complexity, aromatic intensity, and refined balance, making it a standout in its vintage.
