Other Reviews....
The richest and boldest of Keller's 2017 GGs, but it also has great structure and a powerful, mineral and herbal finish. Although it is already showing plenty of citrus character, a lot more will come out if you're patient. Drink in 2019.

Mineral spice dominates the nose at the moment though there’s no lack of citrus precision. As it opens, the fruit seems riper, almost a touch exotic – orange and pawpaw, even passion fruit. Then tighter on the palate, much more mineral and upright but has striking power that builds across the palate. Still has the saltiness of Kirchspiel but more spice, power rather than intensity. So long. I thought I could see some SO2 here but Klaus Peter Keller says free SO2 is around 20-25 mg/l (added November). Sounds odd but I find something like hay on the finish.
