2006 Keller Von der Fels

[Robert_Sand]

The screw cap showed very little evolution where as the cork was just hitting that point when an older perfectly stored dry Riesling starts to show many different characteristics.

I´m not storing wine just to find it almost unchanged after many years!

I actually really appreciated the comparison, because the enormous price difference between the vdF and the other dry wines mentioned in this thread has always caused me to shy away from the less expensive. In my head I always figured if there is a 10x price difference (or more in the case of the GMax!) between the wines that there must be some kind of extreme difference in the fruit, style, wine quality, etc that the market has recognized. to see that the vdF can compare favorably sometimes is good to know!

The fruit for Von der Fels is really high class. Often from Morstein or Brunnenhäuschen (Abtserde). It varies each year, but the info can be obtained.

thank you for this info. Definitely something I need to grab then
