95 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2015 vintage of Hubacker from Klaus-Peter Keller was also showing beautiful potential. The wine was not particularly shut down compared to when I first tasted it, but it is still more than a decade away from really attaining its plateau of peak maturity. The youthful nose is pure and complex, offering up scents of lemon, pink grapefruit, incipient notes of beeswax, chalky minerality, an exotic touch of lilac, sea salts, orange peel and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied and nascently complex, with great precision and grip, ripe, seamless acids and excellent length and grip on the beautifully balanced finish. This too is going to be a legendary vintage of Hubacker! 2028-2085. (Jan/Feb 2019)"
95 points Decanter: "The Kellers have owned vines in the Hubacker's yellow limestone soils since 1789, and they're usually the last to be harvested. This is the most exotic and aromatically brooding of Keller's 2015s, with a complex bouquet of papaya, green apple, caremelised citrus, iodine and complex smoky, spicy top notes. On the palate the wine is deep, racy and concentrated with a touch more texture than the Kirchspeil. Drink: 2020-2060. Alcohol 13%. (Apr 2017)"
