2020 Weingut Keller - Grosses Gewachs Spatburgunder Burgel (750ml)
93 Points
"This came out of cask in February 2022 and was bottled unfiltered from

tank in July of that year. It's due for release in spring 2023. It smells

fantastic. High-toned cherry almond is accompanied by floral effusions

sweetly suggestive of freesia and a strong suggestion of animal savor that

seems equal parts veal and scallop. All of this cashes out on the glossy

palate into bright, crunchy red berry juiciness, inner-mouth perfume and

mouthwatering carnality. Smoke and toasted coconut hints are the only

direct indications of oak influence, and they’re perfectly complementary.

Nor, clearly, can wood be any significant drag on the finish because it’s

impeccably pure-fruited, animatingly tangy and downright refreshing, as

well as possessive of saline-sweet evocations of raw bivalves and

crustacean that are quite uncanny. “Bürgel was always entirely from

German clones,” explains Keller. But beginning with this edition, nearly half

of the wine’s volume reflects Burgundian sélection massale. And not from

young vines. Rather, the new material was top-grafted onto the old.

“Spätburgunder on Spätburgunder,” as Keller puts it"
