Keller Riesling Dalsheimer Hubacker Grosses Gewächs 2018

98 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Reminiscent of a lemon drizzle cake ,straight out of the oven, with lemon curd plastered on top in abundance. A very structured and very powerful palate follows with a clear sensation of chewy tannins — yes, on a white! — and outstandingly compressed citrus fruit. Drink now or hold. (12/16/19)"

94+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2018 Hubacker was showing beautifully at our tasting and this is going to be a stellar wine. The very refined and nascently complex nose wafts from the glass in a blend of tart orange, wild yeasts, a beautiful base of yellow limestone, lemongrass, citrus zest and plenty of upper register smokiness. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and shows off great intensity of flavor without undue weight. The wine is deep at the core, focused and very precise, with lovely mineral drive, superb focus and balance and a very, very long, very elegant finish. Great juice in the making. 2030-2080. (Mar/Apr 2019)"

19+/20 points Julia Harding MW (JancisRobinson.com): "Cask sample. Vines aged 35–50 years.I really wasn’t ready to move on to this after the Kirchspiel. Slightly deeper gold than the Kirchspiel and so different in fruit profile. Smells richer and riper, the fruits ranging from golden plum through apricot and bitter orange. Spicy too, golden and savoury in character. On the palate, it surprises by the extreme freshness – not what I expected after the breadth and oily ripeness on the nose. Even so the balance is perfect – a miracle to get this fruit character together with this intense freshness. Mouth-watering, super-concentrated, bolder than the Kirchspiel but balanced in its more muscular components. Drink: 2025-2035. (3/16/19)"
