critic reviews
Subdued aromas of apricot, sweet lime, nut oil and fennel. The delicate papaya fruit shows depth, poise and elegance. With a gentle spiciness on the alluring finish, this is a serious Riesling with potential.
The 2013 Dalsheim Hubacker Riesling trocken is not a wine for easy consumption since the nose already is developing from minute to minute gaining more and more complex. Unusually pure and mineral on the nose, the "Hubi" 2013 offers rather green flavors of limes, herbs, peas, tobacco, and morels along with just a hint of pie-plant. Full-bodied, intense, piquant and penetrating mineral makes this 2013 one of, if not the most, impressive Hubackers Keller ever produced. The combination of finesse and elegance with power and persistence is really fascinating here.
