2011 Weingut Keller Niersteiner Pettenthal Riesling Auslese 750ml

 RP98

This wine is everything he just said! Kumquat, tangerine, grapefruit and Rainier cherry seductively scent and lusciously, expansively coat the palate from this oily, liqueur-like yet buoyant and refreshing elixir. Smoke, citrus zest, brown spices and crushed stone impingement lend vibrant, invigorating piquancy by way of counterpoint to the richness of fruit, and this finishes with truly amazing penetration and persistence that will leave you licking your lips, and perhaps even wiping a tear from your eye.
