Parker about Hipping Riesling Großes Gewächs 2011
Bacon fat and wood smoke; peach, grapefruit and orange with pronounced piquancy of pit and rind, inform the nose and subtly oily palate of Keller's 2011 Niersteiner Hipping Riesling Grosses Gewachs, an immediately-recognizable expression of this famous red slate site. As in so many recent instances chez Keller, there is an impressive alliance of richness and overt extract with vivacity and energy. This finishes with admirable persistence and a variety of afterglow of distilled pit fruits. A bottle open for a day was even more impressive than one freshly-opened. It should be worth following for at least the better part of a decade.
