2014 G-Max, Keller
I remember a time seemingly not so long ago, when I thought that 100 Euro for a bottle of G-Max was too much... A priviliege to taste and drink. The nose is pure as a mountain river with low keyed yet distinct notes of fresh herbs, chrushed rocks, a hint of diesel and fresh lemons. Brilliant.
The taste is concentrated and sappy with notes of candied lemons, chive, wet stones and some grassy notes. The finish is counted in minutes. Very young still but oooh so good.
