Keller Riesling Dalsheim Hubacker Grosses Gewächs Trocken 2011

95 points Falstaff Guide: "Pale white-yellow with greenish reflections. Concentrated bouquet, really dense light fruit aromas. Fine race, enormously tense, salty, long-lasting and, despite the warmth of serving, without force, but with length. (8/30/12)"

94+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "Out of the blocks, I found the 2011 Hubacker to have fine potential, but its broader-shouldered personality was quite evident when tasted alongside of the other Grosses Gewächs bottlings in the Keller lineup. At age seven, the elegance of the wine is more front and center, as it offers up a lovely, youthful bouquet of blood orange, tangerine, citrus zest, chalky minerality, a fine sense of salinity, still a bit of wild yeasts and a blossoming note of petrol. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and still quite young and racy, with the fine structure currently keeping everything a bit under wraps, but with excellent length and grip on the vibrant and very well-balanced finish. All this excellent wine needs is more bottle age. 2023-2080+. (Jan/Feb 2019)"

94 points Fine Wine Review: "The Hubacker GG is dusty and stony in the nose. The mouth shows good acidity and creaminess with structure and lime/mineral flavors. The wine is very long and contains enough acidity to be refreshing. (Issue #140; 2013)"

92 points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "Pear, zesty lime and pineapple close to the core ally themselves to crystalline, alkaline and stony notes in Keller's 2011 Dalsheimer Hubacker Riesling Grosses Gewachs, leading to a juicy palate impression and finish that positively shimmer. Coriander seed, grapefruit rind, peach kernel, nut oils and quinine add piquant pungency to this impressively persistent performance that should be worth following for at least a decade. This site tends to wear its extract on its sleeve, but fortunately that doesn't this year preclude succulence, lift or refreshment. I think of Kirchspiel as feline, whereas Hubacker is a rather large canine bounding into your lap. (Feb 2013)"

92 points Joel B. Payne (International Wine Cellar): "Delicate aromas of white peach, sweet lime and persimmon. The crisp, clean structure of this wine belies the intense weight of invigorating apricot pit fruit. Fine smoky, salty minerality makes for an elegant finish. This is the most feminine of the estate's dry rieslings and the one that drinks the best in its youth. (Jan/Feb 2013)"
